Solving Rational Equations

Time to practice linear equations. The sectioned worksheet starts with simple linear problems and increases to multi-step and rational coefficient problems. 

I'm a fan of clearing the denominator, but solvers can also find common denominators and cross multiply to solve the linear equations on the worksheet. Each of the six problems has rational coefficients.

What do fractions and rational expressions have in common? Everything! Learners use common denominators to solve rational equations. Problems advance from simple to more complex, allowing pupils to fully understand the material before...

Provide guidance and practice of the useful skill: solving rational equations using both an algebraic and graphical approach. Pupils solve increasingly more difficult rational equations using algebraic methods. After, they...

In this rational equation worksheet, students solve 20 equations with a variable in the denominator of one more terms. They also read real-life application problems, write a rational equation to fit the problem and solve the equation....

What does order of operations have to do with solving equations? A video explains solving two-step equations using a do/undo chart. Learners recognize the operations within an equation and use inverse operations to undo those...

Explore methods for solving linear systems with your classes and introduce learners to using matrices as a viable method. Scholars are able to recognize situations where matrices are the efficient method of solving. Application...

It's entirely rational to solve rational equations. Pupils watch a video to learn about solving rational equations in the fourth of five episodes in the Algebra II - Rational Expressions unit. They consider two different methods:...

Provide your algebra class with some review of rational expressions in this video. Sal uses several sample problems to show viewers the process, and his explanations are clear and easy to understand.

Build an understanding of rational numbers and their counterpart irrational numbers. Lead learners through an explanation of rational numbers and the ways they can be expressed. Then introduce them to irrational numbers and make...
