How can you solve a rational equation without graphing?

Mathematics

KiRa [710]3 years ago

Answer:

To figure out the common denominator for these fractions, I'll first need to factor that quadratic in the denominator on the right-hand side of the rational equation. This will also allow me to find the disallowed values for this equation. Factoring gives me:

x2 – 6x + 8 = (x – 4)(x – 2)

The factors of the quadratic on the right-hand side "just so happen" to be duplicates of the other denominators. This often happens in these exercises. (So often, in fact, that if you get completely different factors, you should probably go back and check your work.)

Step-by-step explanation:

Problem 3: Let x = price of bag of pretzels Let y = price of box of granola bars  
We have Lesley's purchase: 4x+2y=13.50
 And Landon's: 1x+5y=17.55 
 We can use the elimination method. Let's negate Landon's purchase by multiplying by -1. -1x-5y=-17.55 
 We add this four times to Lesley's purchase to eliminate the x variable.
 2y-20y=13.50-70.2
 -18y=-56.7
 y = $3.15 = Price of box of granola bars
 
 Plug back into Landon's purchase to solve for pretzels.
 x+5*3.15=17.55
 x+15.75=17.55
 x = $1.80 = price of bag of pretzels
  
 Problem 4.
 Let w = number of wood bats sold
 Let m = number of metal bats sold
 
 From sales information we have: w + m = 23
 24w+30m=606 
 Substitution works well here. Solve for w in the first equation, w = 23 - m, and plug this into the second. 
 24*(23-m)+30m=606
 552-24m+30m=606
 6m=54
 m=9 = number of metal bats sold
 Therefore since w = 23-m, w = 23-9 = 14. 14 wooden bats were sold.
