Question 388865: Hi I need help on Solving Rational Equations and Inequalities. Can you help me? An example of this is
Solving Rational Equations
7= 1/w-4

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Solving Rational Equations
7= 1/w-4
----
Multiply both sides by w-4 to get:
7(w-4) = 1
7w-28 = 1
7w = 29
w = 29/7
--------
If the problem is 7 = (1/w)-4
Add 4 to both sides to get:
(1/w) = 11
Multiply both sides by w to get:
11w = 1
w = 1/11
