Learn to solve a rational equation by factoring

The video tutorial covers the process of factoring equations, focusing on identifying common factors and understanding the Least Common Denominator (LCD). It explains how to apply the LCD to simplify equations and eliminate fractions. The tutorial also demonstrates distributing terms, simplifying equations, and factoring quadratic equations to find solutions. Finally, it emphasizes the importance of verifying solutions and identifying extraneous solutions.
