The video tutorial explains how to add and subtract rational expressions with like denominators. It provides two examples: one focusing on addition and the other on subtraction. The tutorial emphasizes the importance of keeping the denominator the same and combining like terms in the numerator. It also highlights the use of parentheses in subtraction to ensure correct sign distribution. The video concludes with simplified forms of the expressions and a brief mention of the next video.

What is the first step when adding rational expressions with like denominators?

• Change the denominators

• Subtract the numerators

• Add the numerators

• Multiply the denominators
