The video tutorial focuses on isolating the expression E raised to the negative X. It begins by dividing both sides of the equation by 6, then proceeds to eliminate the base E using the natural logarithm (Ln). The instructor demonstrates how to calculate the result, which is approximately 0.69, using a calculator. The process involves understanding the transformation of the equation and the use of logarithmic properties to solve for X.
