Rational method

Solve the coefficient of the equation by rational method.

1 + 27 / (x 2 - 9) = 2

Sol:

Step1: This equation has a rational expression. Multiply the equation by the denominator term (x 2 – 9)
(x 2 - 9 )(1 + 27/ (x 2 – 9)) = (x 2 – 9) 2

Simplify.
(x 2 – 9)+ 27 = 2 (x 2 – 9)

Step2: Multiply factors and group like terms.
x 2 + 18 = 2 x 2 - 18

Step3: Add – (x 2 + 18) to both sides and simplify

x 2 = 36

Step4: x = -6 or +6
