How to determine if solutions are extraneous for absolute value equations

The video tutorial explains extraneous solutions in the context of absolute value equations. It begins by defining extraneous solutions and the concept of absolute value, using a number line for illustration. The tutorial then demonstrates solving absolute value equations, highlighting the possibility of having two cases. Finally, it shows how to test solutions to determine if they are extraneous by plugging them back into the original equation.
