Solving Absolute Value Equations with Two Equations

The video tutorial explains how to solve absolute value equations by writing two separate equations. It begins with an introduction to the concept of absolute value as the distance from zero on a number line. The tutorial then demonstrates solving an equation with absolute value by considering both positive and negative solutions. A practical example involving M&M snack packs is used to illustrate the application of absolute value equations in real-world scenarios. By the end, viewers will understand how to solve these equations and apply them to practical problems.
