However, I checked the rational expression chapter on my old algebra book and I don't see any lessons on how to solve this kind of problem.  Therefore, if you could tell me what kind of problem this is so I can do more practice questions online, i would really appreciate it. Thanks in advance. </SPAN>\n" );
