 EXAMPLE 2
GENERALIZATIONS
Sam can paint a room in 5 hours. Gary can do it in 4 hours. How
To solve rational equations, long will it take the two working together?
1. eliminate the denominators by multiplying each term of the
equation by the least common denominator, and SOLUTION:
2. solve the resulting equation.

EXAMPLE 1

Ten goats were set loose in an island and their population growth
can be approximated by the function where P
represents the goat population in year t since they were set loose.
How many goats will there be after 5 years?
LCD = (5)(4)(x) = 20x
SOLUTION:

Multiply each side of the

equation by the LCD to
eliminate the denominators.
Substitute 5 to the variable t.
Solve the equation.

If Sam and Gary will work together, it will take them about
2.22 hours to finish painting the room.

There will be approximately 32 goats after 5 years.
