Rational Expressions and Equations
Simplifying Rational Expressions
Contain rational equations with variables in denominators. For each equation, a. write the value or values of the variable that make a denominator zero. These are the restrictions on the variable. b. Keeping the restrictions in mind, solve the equation. $$\frac{3}{x+3}=\frac{5}{2 x+6}+\frac{1}{x-2}$$
