Simplify a complex fraction by multiplying the numerator and denominator by the LCD

The video tutorial explains how to handle complex fractions by determining and using the least common denominator (LCD). It covers the process of identifying the LCD, multiplying both the numerator and denominator by the LCD, and simplifying the resulting expression. The tutorial emphasizes the importance of eliminating variables in the denominator and applying properties like the distributive property to simplify expressions. The final goal is to reduce complex fractions to a single general fraction, ensuring no further simplification is possible.
