Answer each question. By what expression should we multiply each side of 5/((3x(2x + 1)) = A/(3x) + B/(2x + 1) so that there are no fractions in the equation?

검증된 단계별 안내
1
Identify the denominators in the equation: the denominators are \$3x\( and \)(2x + 1)$.
To eliminate the fractions, multiply both sides of the equation by the least common denominator (LCD) of all the denominators involved.
The LCD is the product of the distinct factors in the denominators, which is \(3x(2x + 1)\).
Multiply each term on both sides of the equation by \(3x(2x + 1)\) to clear the fractions.
After multiplying, the equation will no longer have fractions, allowing you to work with a polynomial equation.

Least Common Denominator (LCD)

The least common denominator is the smallest expression that all denominators in a rational equation can divide into without leaving a remainder. Multiplying both sides of an equation by the LCD eliminates fractions, simplifying the equation for easier solving.
