How to solve rational equations

The video tutorial explains how to solve equations involving fractions by eliminating them through multiplication by the least common multiple of the denominators. The process involves finding the common denominator, multiplying each term by it, and solving the resulting equation. The solution is then verified to ensure it does not make the denominator zero, avoiding extraneous solutions.
