The video tutorial explores solving an inequality problem by testing different values of B. The teacher evaluates B = -5, B = 0, and B = 5 to determine which value satisfies the inequality -138 ≥ -6 * 6 * B - 7. Through simplification and calculation, it is concluded that B = 5 is the correct solution as it makes the inequality statement true.
