Multiplying by your LCM to divide two rational expressions

The video tutorial covers solving equations by adding and dividing, introduces the fraction busting method using the least common multiple (LCM), and applies these concepts to rational expressions. The teacher explains how to simplify expressions using the distributive property and concludes with a final simplification example.
