Learn how to solve a rational equation and identify the extraneous solutions

The video tutorial explains the steps to solve problems involving rational expressions. It emphasizes identifying the least common denominator (LCD) and factoring denominators. The tutorial demonstrates how to use the LCD to eliminate denominators and solve quadratic equations. It covers factoring techniques and the zero product property, highlighting the importance of checking for extraneous solutions.
