- 5. 3x 4y = -5 –x + 3y = -5arrow_forwardIn Problems 81–86, solve each equation by the Square Root Method.arrow_forwardEquations involving Rational Expressions To solve: 1. Determine the LCD of the rational expressions. 2. Multiply both sides of the equation by this LCD. 3. Perform the resulting operation and simplify the remaining terms. 4. Solve the equation that arises. 5. Check the obtained solutions against the original equation and drop or omit those that will make the rational expressions undefined. Remark: The solutions omitted in Step [5] above are referred to as extraneous roots or extraneous solutions. These omitted values are not included in the solution set.arrow_forward
