Steps In Solving Rational
Equations
1.Note any value of the variable that
would make any denominator zero.
2.Find the least common
denominator or LCD.
3.Multiply the whole equation by the
LCD.
4.Simplify the resulting linear or
quadratic equation.
Example #1

𝟕 𝟑 𝟏
1. − 𝟐 = 𝟐
𝟒𝐱 𝐱 𝟐𝐱
Step 1: The value of the variable that
would make the denominators 0 is 0.
So, x ≠ 0.
 Example #1

𝟕 𝟑 𝟏
1. − 𝟐 = 𝟐
𝟒𝐱 𝐱 𝟐𝐱
Step 2: Find the LCD
𝟐
LCD = 𝟒𝒙
 Example #1

𝟕 𝟑 𝟏
1. − 𝟐 = 𝟐
𝟒𝐱 𝐱 𝟐𝐱
Step 3: Multiply the whole equation by the
LCD.
 Example #1

Step 3: Multiply the whole equation by

the LCD.

x 𝟕 𝟑 𝟏 2
𝟐 𝟐
𝟒𝒙 − 𝟐
= 𝟐
𝟒𝒙
𝟒𝐱 𝐱 𝟐𝐱
7x -12 = 2
 Example #1

Step 4: Simplify the resulting linear

𝟕𝒙 − 𝟏𝟐 = 𝟐
equation.

𝟕𝒙 = 𝟐 + 𝟏𝟐
𝟕𝒙 = 𝟏𝟒
Example #1

𝟕𝒙 = 𝟏𝟒
𝟕 𝟕
𝒙=𝟐
 Example #2

𝒙+𝟑 𝒙+𝟔
2. =
𝟒 𝟔
Step1: There is no restriction in this
case because there is no variable in the
denominator.
 Example #2

𝒙+𝟑 𝒙+𝟔
2. =
𝟒 𝟔
Step 2: Find the LCD

LCD = 𝟏𝟐
 Example #2

𝒙+𝟑 𝒙+𝟔
2. =
𝟒 𝟔
Step 3: Multiply the whole equation by
the LCD.
 Example #2

Step 3: Multiply the whole equation by

the LCD.

3 𝒙+𝟑 𝒙+𝟔 2
𝟏𝟐 = 𝟏𝟐
𝟒 𝟔
3x +9 = 2x +12
 Example #2

Step 4: Simplify the resulting linear

𝟑𝒙 + 𝟗 = 𝟐𝒙 + 𝟏𝟐
equation.

𝟑𝒙 − 𝟐𝒙 = 𝟏𝟐 − 𝟗
𝒙=𝟑
Example #3 Try this!

𝒙 − 𝟒 𝟐𝒙 − 𝟔
=

During the Taal volcano eruption in
January 12, 2020, Vincent and
Joshua volunteered in repacking food
boxes for the displaced families in the
affected areas. Vincent can make 100
food packs in 5 hours while Joshua
make 100 food packs in 3 hours. If
they work together, how long will it

THANK YOU
Work Problem
Social Sciences: Work word
problems can be applied in
social science research
when studying topics like
labor markets,
employment trends, and
the economic impact of
social policies.
Work Problem
Economics: In economics,
work word problems can be
used to analyze labor
markets, productivity,
and economic growth.
Calculations related to
work can help economists
understand the dynamics
of employment and
output.
Work Problem
Business and Finance: Work
word problems can be applied
to business scenarios, such
as calculating the time it
takes for a team to
complete a project or
estimating production rates
in manufacturing. These
calculations can impact
budgeting and resource
allocation.
