Solve and show work for the 10 problems: (3, 4, 7, 8, 10, 11, 13, 14, 19, & 20) of the following link: http://www.kutasoftware.com/FreeWorksheets/Alg2Worksheets/Solving%20Rational%20Equations.pdf It has the answers too, but I haven't looked at them yet. Just look at the questions. A medal will be rewarded for help.
The problems are very complex for me to solve and I am not trying to let anyone give me the answers.
I'll get you started with 3. \[\frac{ 1 }{ 6b^{2} } + \frac{ 1 }{ 6b } = \frac{ 1 }{ b^{2} }\] Lets get rid of the 1/ b^2 in the denominator by multiplying both side by b^2, this gives us: \[b^{2}[\frac{ 1 }{ 6b^{2} } + \frac{ 1 }{ 6b } = \frac{ 1 }{ b^{2} }]=\frac{ 1 }{ 6 }+\frac{ b }{ 6 }=1\] Now we can subtract both sides by 1/6. Note that 1 = 1/1 or 6/6. \[\frac{ b }{ 6 } = \frac{ 6 }{ 6 }-\frac{ 1 }{ 6 }\] \[\frac{ b }{ 6 }=\frac{ 5 }{ 6 }\] Lets get rid of the 6 in the denominator to solve for b. We do this by multiplying both sides by 6, giving us: \[b=5\]
@carson889 Is that the right answer
@goformit100 Is the answer right?
Yes, it is.
Yes your answer is correct :D well done Keep it up
Are you good at Algebra II?
No
or at math
Do you have another question?
Asking if it's right?
Logically it is sound and it matches the answer on the answer sheet
the answer on the sheet says 1/6, but you got b = 5
That would be the answer for question one.
I did question 3, not question one.
sorry! Could you do 4 more 19, 20, 4, and 7
4. \[\frac{ b+6 }{ 4b^{2} }+\frac{ 3 }{ 2b^{2} }=\frac{ b+4 }{ 2b^{2} }\] Lets multiply the second and third fraction by 2/2 so that all the numbers have the same denominator. \[\frac{ b+6 }{ 4b^{2} }+\frac{ 6 }{ 4b^{2} }=\frac{ 2b+8 }{ 4b^{2} }\] We can now combine like terms on the left hand side: \[\frac{ b+12 }{ 4b^{2} }=\frac{ 2b+8 }{ 4b^{2} }\] Now multiply both sides by 4b^2 \[b+12 = 2b + 8\] Solve for b: \[4 = b\]
