Answer:

Some found solutions may be extraneous, so they must all be checked in the original equation.

Step-by-step explanation:

All "solution" values that make any denominator of a rational expression zero must be excluded from the solution set. Every solution must be checked to make certain it is not excluded.

In a cookie jar,

Sedbober [7]

well, a WHOLE is 1, which we can split in many fractions, say 5/5, 10/10 or 999/999 and so on.

we know 1/5 of the jar is chocolate chip, and there's the rest, well, the Whole jar in 5ths have to be 5/5, if we take away 1/5 from 5/5, the "rest" is 5/5 - 1/5 = 4/5.

now, we also know that 1/2 of the "rest" is peanut butter, or namely that 1/2 of 4/5 is peanut butter, how much will that be? let's divide 4/5 by 2

$\cfrac{4}{5}\div 2\implies \cfrac{4}{5}\div \cfrac{2}{1}\implies \cfrac{4}{5}\cdot \cfrac{1}{2}\implies \cfrac{4}{10}\implies \cfrac{2}{5}$
