How do you multiply (1m2−m)+(1m)=5m2−m? Algebra Rational Equations and Functions Clearing Denominators in Rational Equations 1 Answer LM Apr 11, 2018 m=5 Explanation: the common denominator between m2−m and m would be m2−m, since m2−m is a multiple of m. m2−m=m(m−1) 1m=1(m−1)m(m−1) =m−1m2−m 1m2−m+m−1m2−m=1+m−1m2−m =mm2−m mm2−m=5m2−m hence, m=5 Answer link Related questions What is Clearing Denominators in Rational Equations?
