How to Determine When an Absolute Value Equation Has No Solution

The video tutorial explains how to solve absolute value equations by setting up two cases: one where the absolute value equals a positive number and another where it equals a negative number. It emphasizes that the absolute value of any number is always positive, making it impossible for an absolute value to equal a negative number. Therefore, if an absolute value equation equals a negative number, the solution is 'no solution'.
