When is the LCM of two polynomials equal to their product?
When the denominators are inverse of one another and the product of the
numerators is "1".

given the expression 1/(x-5). Is it possible to choose a value for x for which the value of the expression is greater than 10?
INEQUALITY:
1/(x-5) > 10
-----
x cannot be 5:
Draw a number line and mark x=5
------------
Let x be greater than 5; then x-5 is positive.
Multiply both sides of the inequality by x-5 to get:
1 > 10x - 50
10x < 51
x < 5.1
------
Solutions: 5 < x < 5.1
-------------
