The video tutorial demonstrates solving equations for specific variables. It covers four examples: isolating B in A + B = C, W in V + W - X = Y, R in RT = W, and B in 2BH = V. Each example involves using inverse operations to isolate the desired variable on one side of the equation, ensuring a clear understanding of the process.
