That was a very simple equation. Let's now solve more complex rational equations. You will be allowed to use the method of your preference (even if it is one not described here) but let's practice the two methods for the following equation: $$ Regardless of the method of your preference you need to find the Common Denominator. (Hint: When expressions in the denominator are factorable, it is very helpful to factor the denominators to find the correct Common Denominator) What is the Common Denominator in the equation above
