  1. Solve the following rational equations:
    1. 33x=1+1x3-\frac{3}{x}=1+\frac{1}{x}
    2. 2x+15x=132x+\frac{15}{x}=13
  2. Solving Rational Equations by cross multiplying
    State the non-permissible values for the variable x, then solve algebraically.
    1. 8x+4=3x1 \frac{8}{x+4}=\frac{3}{x-1}
    2. 2x26x1=3x+49x+5 \frac{2x-2}{6x-1}=\frac{3x+4}{9x+5}
  3. Solve
    2x9+20x+9=80x281 \frac{2}{x-9}+\frac{20}{x+9}=\frac{80}{x^2-81}
  4. Solve the following equations algebraically:
    1. 2x+2+3x2=1\frac{2}{x+2}+\frac{3}{x-2}=1
    2. 2t3t13t+1t+2=1\frac{2t-3}{t-1}-\frac{3t+1}{t+2}=-1
  5. Solving Rational Equations by factoring
    State the non-permissible values for the variables, then solve algebraically.
    1. x25x+4(x1)=4 \frac{x^2-5x+4}{(x-1)}=-4
    2. x1x21=12x3\frac{x-1}{x^2-1}=\frac{1}{2x-3}
