Rational Equations: Solving

Common Core Grade Level:

Packet includes:

30 practice problems and an answer key.

This packet helps students understand how to solve rational equations. Each page starts with easier problems that get more difficult as students work through the packet. After doing all 30 problems, students should be more comfortable doing these problems and have a clear understanding of how to solve them.

Sample Problem(s):

Solve for the variable.

Simple:

$\dfrac{2}{x} + \dfrac{2}{3} = \dfrac{1}{x}$

Advanced:

$\dfrac{4}{x-3} - \dfrac{x}{x+3} = 1$

Notes:

Practice problems require knowledge of addition, subtraction, mutliplication, and division of fractions.
