How Do You Solve a Rational Equation With No Solution?

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

You've got some algebraic fractions in an equation and their denominators are all different. Well, first you need to strategize. Then find the excluded values that make your denominator equal zero because we know the denominator cannot ever be zero. Next find a least common denominator for all three terms. Multiply the terms. Then simplify. Now you are getting closer to solving the equation. But wait.... what do you mean there is no solution?
