Absolute Value Equations

The video tutorial explains how to solve absolute value equations by isolating the absolute value on one side of the equation. It emphasizes checking if the number on the other side is positive, as a negative number means no solution. The tutorial provides an example where the absolute value of x equals negative 4 has no solution. It then demonstrates solving an equation by establishing two equations: one with the positive value and one with the negative. The video walks through solving these equations and converting improper fractions to mixed numbers.
