The video tutorial explains how to use relationships between parallel lines and a transversal to solve for a missing variable. It begins by introducing the concept of parallel lines and transversals, then moves on to discuss angle relationships. The instructor simplifies the problem by removing unnecessary elements and focuses on identifying alternate interior angles, which are equal in measure. Finally, the tutorial demonstrates solving an equation using these angles to find the missing variable.
