8.6 Solve Rational Equations VOCABULARY Cross multiplying
VOCABULARYCross multiplying A method of solving a simple rational equation for which each side of the equation is a single rational expression. Equal products are formed by multiplying the numerator of each expression by the denominator of the other.
20 5 = - - 2 x 5 x 2 Example 1Solve a rational equation by cross multiplying
20 5 = - - 2 x 5 x 2 Example 1Solve a rational equation by cross multiplying Step 1: Cross Multiply
20 5 = - - 2 x 5 x 2 Example 1Solve a rational equation by cross multiplying Step 1: Cross Multiply 20(x-2) = 5(2x-5)
20 5 = - - 2 x 5 x 2 Example 1Solve a rational equation by cross multiplying Step 1: Cross Multiply 20(x-2) = 5(2x-5) Step 2: Distribute (multiply)
20 5 = - - 2 x 5 x 2 Example 1Solve a rational equation by cross multiplying Step 1: Cross Multiply 20(x-2) = 5(2x-5) Step 2: Distribute (multiply) 20x-40 = 10x-25
Step 3: Move all x’s to the left of the equal sign. 20x-40 = 10x-25 -10x -10x
Step 3: Move all x’s to the left of the equal sign. 20x-40 = 10x-25 -10x -10x 10x - 40 = -25
10x - 40 = -25 Step 4: Get x all by itself
10x - 40 = -25 10x - 40 = -25 +40 +40 Step 4: Get x all by itself
10x - 40 = -25 10x - 40 = -25 +40 +40 Step 4: Get x all by itself 10x = 15
10x - 40 = -25 10x - 40 = -25 +40 +40 Step 4: Get x all by itself 10x = 15 10x = 15 10 10
10x - 40 = -25 10x - 40 = -25 +40 +40 Step 4: Get x all by itself 10x = 15 10x = 15 10 10 x = 1.5
