The video tutorial explains how to solve for the variable X in the slope-intercept form of the equation Y = MX + B. It begins by introducing the equation and the need to isolate X. The instructor demonstrates how to use inverse operations to undo addition and multiplication, ultimately deriving the final equation X = (Y - B) / M. The tutorial emphasizes understanding the operations affecting X and applying the reverse order of operations to solve for it.
