Question

How do i solve this rational expression r-4/5r=1/5r+1

Answer 1

r - 4/5r = 1/5r + 1

Subtract 1/5r from each side: r - 4/5r - 1/5r = 1

Combine all the 'r' terms on the left side:

r - 5/5r = 1

r - r = 1

0 = 1

There is no value of 'r' that can make ' 0 = 1 ' a true statement.
So the equation has no solution.
