7.5.2: Solving Rational Equations using Lowest Common Denominator

Today's goals are:

You will be able to solve a rational equation by using the LCD to clear the fractions,
You will be able to distinguish the difference between combining expressions and solving equations, and
You will be able to recognize when a solution to a rational equation is extraneous.

We will practice multiple examples in class!

Here are Guided Notes for Monday and Tuesday, if you are unable to attend class:

General Homework Expectations: Whether you are doing a homework assignment from the BI book, a worksheet, or some other activity, even a Desmos activity, please remember to write all the problems and show your processes in your composition (or note) book. Lists of answers without process will not receive credit!
