Solve a rational equation with extraneous solutions

The video tutorial covers the process of identifying factors and the least common denominator (LCD) in algebraic expressions. It explains how to simplify expressions by multiplying with the LCD and solve equations using the distributive property. The tutorial also emphasizes the importance of checking for extraneous solutions by substituting values back into the original equation to ensure no zero denominators. Ultimately, it concludes that the solutions found are extraneous, leading to no real solutions.
