6.3 Adding and Subtracting Rational Expressions
Rational expressions behave like fractions so we will begin by review the rules for adding and subtracting fractions. Please watch the review fractions video and then return to this site.
To see examples for applying the fraction rules of adding and subtracting to rational expressions, please watch the rationals video. Then return to this site.
The end of this section is about complex fractions. A complex fraction is one that has a fraction inside of a fraction, either in the numerator, denominator or both. Please watch the complex fractions video and then work on the questions below.
Please do page 336 #1, 5-7, 10.

6.4 Rational Equations
To solve rational equations you need to use both fraction rules and algebra rules. Please watch the rational equations 1 video and return to this site.
For more examples, watch the rational equations 2 video and then work on the questions below.
Please do page 348 #2, 3, 5, 7, 8.
