The video tutorial explains the process of subtracting fractions with different denominators by finding the least common denominator (LCM). It demonstrates how to multiply denominators to achieve a common base and simplify the expression using the difference of squares. The tutorial further simplifies the expression using Pythagorean identities, ultimately arriving at a final simplified form involving tangent squared. The instructor emphasizes careful application of negative signs during subtraction to avoid errors.
