Need help solving rational equations or algebra equations with fractions? One of the easiest and most reliable methods is to clear the fractions first by multiplying every term by the LCD (least common denominator). 📚 Need help with Algebra, Pre-Algebra, or basic math? Explore my complete step-by-step math courses: https://TCMathAcademy.com In this lesson, I’ll solve the rational equation shown in the video and explain why clearing the fractions using the LCD is often the best approach. There are other ways to work with rational equations. For example, you could combine fractions on each side of the equation and continue from there. But in many problems, finding the LCD and multiplying through the entire equation eliminates the fractions and turns the problem into a much more familiar algebra equation. What You'll Learn: ✔️ How to solve rational equations step by step ✔️ How to find the LCD of the denominators ✔️ How to clear fractions from an equation ✔️ Why multiplying every term
