To clear this equation of fractions, find the least common denominator (LCD) of all terms in the equation and multiply every term by this LCD. It is possible to introduce an extraneous solution because you are multiplying by a variable. To determine whether a solution is extraneous, substitute the answer for the variable in the original equation or graph the original equation.
