Suppose I have one or more equations in the variables x[1] , ..., x[n], where each equation is a linear combination of rational functions in x[1] , ..., x[n]. For example, one equation might be:

(a*x[1]+b*x[2])/x[3] + c * x[1]^2 / ( d + e*x[2]) = f

Any such equation can be turned into a polynomial by multiplying both sides by the products of all the denominators. In the example, this would be x[3]( e*x[2] + d ).

My question is whether there is a Maple command to do this automatically? This would be helpful as I have a large number of equations.
