Explain how you know which method you should use to solve a rational equation.
notsponge [240]

<u>Methods to solve rational equation:</u>

Rational equation:

A rational equation is an equation containing at least one rational expression.

Method 1:

The method for solving rational equations is to rewrite the rational expressions in terms of a common denominator. Then, since we know the numerators are equal, we can solve for the variable.

For example,

\frac{1}{2}=\frac{x}{2}\Rightarrow x=1

This can be used for rational equations with polynomials too.

For example,

\frac{1+x}{x-3}=\frac{4}{x-3}\Rightarrow(1+x)=4 \Rightarrow x=3

When the terms in a rational equation have unlike denominators, solving the equation will be as follows

\frac{x+2}{8}=\frac{3}{4}

\Rightarrow\frac{x+2}{1}=\frac{3\times8}{4}\Rightarrow{x+2}=2\times3

\Rightarrow{x+2}=6\Rightarrow x=6-2\Rightarrow x=4

Method 2:

Another way of solving the above equation is by finding least common denominator (LCD)

\frac{x+2}{8}=\frac{3}{4}

Factors of 4: 1\times2\times2

Factors of 8: 1\times2\times2\times2

The LCD of 4 and 8 is 8. So, we have to make the right hand side denominator as 8. This is done by the following step,

\Rightarrow\frac{x+2}{8}=\frac{3}{4}\times{2}{2}

we get,

\Rightarrow\frac{x+2}{8}=\frac{6}{8}

On cancelling 8 on both sides we get,

\Rightarrow(x+2)=6\rightarrow x=6-2\rightarrow x=4

Hence, these are the ways to solve a rational equation.

Byron can fill a drying rack with dishes in 15 minutes. While Byron fills the drying rack, Emmitt takes dishes out of the drying
Olegator [25]

Answer:

Hi!

The correct answer is d) 1 over 15 minus 1 over x equals x over 35.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know the amount of time that Byron can fill a drying rack with dishes: 15 minutes.

We know the amount of time that Byron can fill a drying rack with dishes while Emmitt is taking dishes out of the drying rack: 35 minutes.

We don't know the amount of time that Emmitt can take dishes out of the drying rack: x minutes.

So, if Byron is filling the drying rack in 15 minutes and Emmitt is taking out the dishes at x minutes, it takes 35 minutes to fill the drying rack.

\frac{1}{15}-\frac{1}{x} = \frac{1}{35} <em>// multiply by 105x both sides.</em>

105x\frac{1}{15}-105x\frac{1}{x} =105x \frac{1}{35} <em>// simplifly</em>

7x - 105 = 3x<em> //substract 3x and add 105 in both sides</em>

7x - 3x - 105 + 105 = 3x - 3x + 105 <em>// solve</em>

4x =  105 <em>//</em> <em>divide by 4 in both sides</em>

\frac{4x}{4} =  \frac{105}{4} <em>// solve</em>

x =  26.25

It makes sense that Byron fills the rack faster than Emmitt empties the rack.
