    A rational equation can be solved by several methods, among which least common denominator is one way to solve. To solve a rational equation, multiply each term on both sides of the equation by the LCD of the denominators then combine the numerators and solve the resulting polynomial.

    To solve the given rational equation, find the LCD of the denominators.

    Here the denominators are 2x and 2. Product of common factor and the remaining factor will give the LCD. The common factor of 2x and 2 is and remaining factor is x. Therefore the LCD is 2x. So, solve the given equation by using following steps.

    Multiply each term with LCD 2x.

    Divide out the common factor from both numerator and denominator.
