Solving an equation with fraction where your variable is on both sides

The video tutorial explains how to solve equations involving fractions by eliminating the fractions using the least common multiple (LCM). It demonstrates the process of multiplying each term by the LCM to simplify the equation, followed by steps to isolate and solve for the variable X. The tutorial emphasizes the importance of performing operations equally on both sides of the equation to maintain balance.
