Combining rational expression with unlike denominators

The video tutorial covers the process of simplifying algebraic expressions, focusing on finding the least common multiple (LCM) and applying the distributive property. It begins with an introduction to the expression and the concept of LCM, followed by factoring techniques. The tutorial then demonstrates how to apply the distributive property to simplify expressions and combine like terms. Finally, it addresses the simplification of the expression and identifies restrictions based on the zero product property.

Describe the process of applying the distributive property as outlined in the text.

What restrictions are placed on the variable X, and why?
