The video tutorial explains how to solve absolute value inequalities. It begins by isolating the absolute value and emphasizes the importance of flipping the inequality sign when dividing by a negative number. The instructor then demonstrates how to create two cases for 'or' inequalities and graph the solutions on a number line. The tutorial concludes by explaining that 'or' inequalities require only one of the inequalities to be true, resulting in solutions that cover the entire number line.
