The video tutorial explains how to solve for x in an isosceles triangle with parallel lines. It begins by identifying the triangle and parallel lines, then explores the properties of angles and transversals. The tutorial demonstrates solving for x using angle sums and verifies the solution by calculating specific angles in the triangle.
