The video tutorial explains how to solve absolute value equations by setting up two cases: one where the absolute value is positive and another where it is negative. The process involves isolating the absolute value, creating cases, solving them, and testing the solutions. The tutorial concludes by explaining that if the solutions result in a negative value for an absolute value equation, there is no solution.
