Multiplying and Solving Equations

The video tutorial explains how to solve an equation where the solution is a fraction greater than 1. It begins by expanding the equation 2/3 * 6X + 12 = 20, simplifying the terms, and then isolating the variable X to find the solution. The process involves multiplying fractions, simplifying expressions, and rearranging terms to isolate X, resulting in the solution X = 3.
