The video tutorial explains how to subtract two numbers and simplify the result as a mixed number using two methods. The first method involves converting the numbers into improper fractions and finding a common denominator to perform the subtraction. The second method separates the whole number and fractional parts, subtracting each separately and using regrouping to handle negative results. Both methods are demonstrated with step-by-step calculations, leading to the same final answer.
