    fractional equations{resolved}

    I started out fine with these but ive slipped up some where as i went along.

    If i take a fractional equation such as x/2 + x/3 = 10 both sides have to be multiplied by the lcd which is 6. The same holds true if i take another equation such as 2/(y - 1) - 4/3y = 1/y2 - y with the lcd being 3y(y-1).

    Now how would i apply this to an equation such as (a + 5)/2 = (a+2)/5 or (2r + 1)/3 -(r+1)/5 = (r+8)/6? For (2r + 1)/3 -(r+1)/5 = (r+8)/6? Using an lcd of 15 results in the right hand side of the equation to still be in the form of a fraction.
