How to do a horizontal translation

The video tutorial addresses a question from Twitter about performing transformations, specifically focusing on horizontal translations. The instructor explains the concept of translation as a shift, detailing how to apply a horizontal translation to an equation. The process involves understanding the role of negative signs and substituting values correctly. The tutorial concludes with simplifying the equation and verifying the transformation using a graph.
