OBJECTIVES
At the end of the lesson students should be able to:
a. Define rational equation
b. Simplify rational expression
c. Apply the procedure on how to simplify rational expression
Motivation
Before we proceed to our new lesson, remember
that doing Grade 7 you discussed about how to Yes, Sir!
find x, right?
So lets begin! (I start singing) Students will mix around the room to find their
match.
(I stop singing) Since you already found your ( Students will explain why they come up with
pairing, will you tell now to the class why you such pairing )
arrive with that pairing?
Very good! You may now take your seats The representatives will take their seat

B. Analysis
Observe our denominators first. What do you They are dissimilar fractions
notice in our denominator?
Since they are dissimilar fractions, what are you Were going to find the LCD
going to find?
Thats right! Our new equation is 7x+6=21x. What Apply the subtraction property and divide both by
are we going to do next to find x? -14

Excellent! To see if x is -
we will only
14
substitute the value of x to our equation to
see if our answer is correct. (Showing the
checking to the class) so we have the correct
the answer.
After we cancel out and multiply we can now The new equation is 5x+11=3x+1
combine like terms. So what is our new equation?
So what is x? x is -5
What if our x didnt match in our checking? How The equation has no solution
are you going to write the solution if it is false?
C. Application
D. Abstraction
Based on the two activities we have, ca you Rational equation is an equation that contains
described to me rational equation? Or what is one or more rational expressions.
rational equation? Rational equation is an equation that contains
in which one or more terms is a fractional one.
What is an extraneous solution again class? Extraneous solution is an apparent solution that
does not solve its equation.
Do you have any question, class? None, Sir
V. EVALUATION
Please pass your paper to the center, then to the ( Students will pass the papers to the center, then
front. to the front )
VI. ASSIGNMENT
For your assignment, copy the questions on the ( Students will copy the assignment on the board )
