Mathematics Equation

This document contains worked solutions to solving various types of equations, including linear, quadratic, and rational equations, by methods such as factorization, completing the square, and using the quadratic formula. The first section shows examples of solving linear and quadratic equations by collecting like terms. The second section demonstrates solving quadratic equations by factoring. The third section illustrates solving quadratic equations by both completing the square and using the quadratic formula. The final section works through solving a rational equation.
