Solving a Rational Equation

The video tutorial explains how to solve rational equations using the cross multiplication technique. It begins by defining proportions and emphasizes that cross multiplication is applicable only when dealing with proportions. The tutorial then demonstrates the step-by-step process of solving an equation by cross multiplying, applying the distributive property, and simplifying the equation to find the solution. The video concludes with a summary of the method used.
