The video tutorial introduces solving one-variable two-step equations using numbers and letters. It demonstrates solving the equation 2x - 4 = 6 by adding 4 to both sides, resulting in 2x = 10, and then dividing by 2 to find x = 5. The tutorial also explains using tiles and zero pairs to visualize the process, emphasizing the importance of performing operations on both sides of the equation. The lesson concludes with encouragement for students to continue practicing and mastering the concept.
