Provide an appropriate response.Without multiplying by the least common denominator and solving, explain why the rational equation  has no solution. (Hint: Examine both numerators and denominators carefully.)

What will be an ideal response?


Since the denominators are the same, the numerators must be the same. Then ; but this value of x makes the denominators 0, so the equation has no solution.
