Question 84186: Solve each rational equation and simplify. I would like to check my solutions.
Problem 1. x + 5 = 6 / x
Problem 2. 13 / y - 1 (-3) = 1 / y - 1 Answer by checkley75(3666) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! x+5=6/x cross multiply:
x(x+5)=6
x^2+5x-6=0
(x+6)(x-1)=0
x+6=0
x=-6 answer.
x-1=0
x=1 answer.
------------------------------------------------------------
13/(y-1)-3=1/(y-1)
13/(y-1)-1/(y-1)-3=0
(13-1)/(y-1)=3 now cross multiply
3(y-1)=13-1
3y-3=12
3y=12+3
3y=15
y=15/3
y=5 answer.
