🛎️ Rational Equations
- Rational equations have x in the denominator, so extra care is needed.
- Multiply every term on both sides by the denominator containing x.
- This turns the equation into a normal equation without fractions.
🛎️ Solve and Check
- Rearrange the equation to find the value of x.
- Check the solution by substituting it back into the original equation.
- Make sure the value of x does not make the denominator zero.
