Rational equations
(x-3) (x-3)
Multiply the LCD with both sides of the equation
1 =x+1 using MPE
(x)(x-1) (x)(x-1)
Multiply the LCD with both sides of the equation using MPE
(x-1) 1 = 2 (x)
x-1 = 2x
Simplify the equation
x - 2x = 1 Solve for x
-x =1
-1 -1
x = -1

LCM : (x – 3)(x – 5)
(x-3)(x-5) (x-3)(x-5)
Multiply the LCM with both sides of the

equation using MPE
- 5x = - 6 Simplify the equation
- 5x + 6 = 0
(x - 3) (x – 2) = 0 Quadratic Equation (factor)

Example:
If a painter can paint a room in 4 hours and her assistant can paint the room in
6 hours, how many hours will it take them to paint the room working together?
Let x be the time it takes them to paint the room together.
Formula
A = time taken by 1
st
person = 4 hours
=
nd
B = time taken by 2 person = 6 hours
Solution
1 1 1
x =time taken if they both do the work together = x
