Solving a rational Equation

The video tutorial explains how to solve a rational equation by using cross multiplication. It begins with setting up the equation and proceeds to cross multiply and simplify the terms. The instructor then solves the resulting quadratic equation by applying the distributive property and factoring. Finally, the zero product property is used to find potential solutions, which are verified to ensure they do not make the denominator zero. The valid solution is identified as x = 6.
