Master how to solve a rational equation Part 3

The video tutorial explains how to solve rational equations by removing variables from denominators using the least common denominator (LCD). It covers multiple examples, demonstrating the use of the quadratic formula for non-factorable equations and identifying extraneous solutions. The tutorial emphasizes the importance of simplification and provides step-by-step guidance on solving rational equations.
