Simplifying Expressions in Mathematics

The video tutorial guides viewers through simplifying a complex expression by breaking it down into manageable steps. The instructor first addresses the numerator and denominator separately, simplifying each by handling numbers and variables in sequence. After simplifying both parts, the instructor demonstrates how to cancel terms to achieve the final simplified expression.
