II) SOLVING RATIONAL EQUATIONS
“Solving” means finding the value of “x” where both sidesof an equation are equal
On a graph, it’s where the two functions cross/intersecteach other
Steps to Solve Algebraically
Find the NPV (Non-Permissible Values)
Multiply all terms by LCD to cancel out the Denominator
Simplify and Solve for ‘x’
‘x’ can not be the same as the NPV (Extraneous Root)
