Absolute Value and Equation Solutions

The video tutorial explains how to solve absolute value equations by setting up two cases: one for the positive value and one for the negative value. The instructor demonstrates solving these equations step-by-step and verifies the solutions by plugging them back into the original equation. The tutorial concludes with a summary of the process.
