Simplifying Expressions and Fractions

The video tutorial explains how to write a complex fraction as a single fraction in its simplest form. It begins by identifying the need for a common denominator, which is determined to be 15x. The tutorial then demonstrates how to multiply each term by the necessary factors to achieve this common denominator. After multiplying, the terms are combined and simplified to form a single fraction. The video concludes by summarizing the process and thanking viewers for watching.
