Rational equations involve fractions with polynomials. Typically, you clear denominators by multiplying the entire equation by the least common denominator (LCD). For example, if 1/(x+2) = 3/(2x+4), multiply both sides by (x+2)(2x+4). Simplify, solve, and verify no denominator is zero. Rational equations arise in rate problems, mixture questions, or advanced algebra tasks. By systematically removing fraction complexities, you can isolate variables accurately, reinforcing strong algebraic fundamentals vital to real-world modeling and advanced problem-solving.
