I need help please!!!! Amanda tells you that when variables are in the denominator, the equation becomes unsolvable. "There is a value for x that makes the denominator zero, and you can't divide by zero," Amanda explains. Using complete sentences, demonstrate to Amanda how the equation is still solvable.

The numbers that would make the denominator 0 are called "restrictions" to the x value. You can solve the equation. You just have to include the restrictions as part of your answer so that it’s known which values x cannot be.  To find the restrictions, set the denominator equal to 0 then solve for x and what you get will be the restrictions. When you write the solutions, make sure to write beside it “x≠(whatever the restriction is)” :P Hope this helps! ^.^
