A conditional equation is an equation that is
true for some values of the variable but false for
others.
A contradiction is false for all values of the
variable.
An identity is true for all values of the variable
for which the expressions in the equation are
well defined.
Solve a rational equation by multiplying both
sides of the equation by the LCD of all fractions
in the equation.
