Rational Expressions and Simplification

This video tutorial covers the addition and subtraction of rational expressions. It begins with an introduction to the topic, followed by two examples: one for adding and another for subtracting rational expressions with the same denominators. The video concludes with an activity for viewers to practice what they've learned and encourages engagement through comments.
