Solving an equation with variables in the denominator #2

In this example, we solve an equation with fractions but with varibles in the denominator. If you do not like to work with fractions, find the least common multiple of the denominator. Then multiply each term by the least common multiple and voila the fractions are gone and you can solve the equation that is left. We will need to check to see if our answer is extraneous. Plug the solutions into the original equation and check to see if zero is produced in the denominator. If so, then the solution is extraneous. Only put solutions that are not extraneous in your solution set.
