Learn to Solve a Basic Two Step Absolute Value Equation

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 for X in both scenarios and verifies the solutions by plugging them back into the original equation. The process ensures that both solutions are valid, providing a comprehensive understanding of solving absolute value equations.
