The video tutorial explains how to solve the inequality 2 - 3x < 14. It begins by treating the inequality like a regular algebraic equation, emphasizing the need to flip the inequality sign when multiplying or dividing by a negative number. The tutorial walks through the steps of isolating x, subtracting 2 from both sides, and dividing by -3, resulting in the solution x > -4.
