Complex Rational Expressions

To simplify a complex rational expression, multiply the numerator and denominator by an expression equivalent to `1`. The expression selected should use the least common multiple of any denominator found in the numerator or denominator of the complex rational expression.

Sometimes it is easier to just work with the numerator and the denominator separately AND THEN, combine them with their division. Problems like 23-29 are HARD, look at my solutions for my method. You may have a different approach and that is OK!
