Factoring Quadratic Equations and Solutions

The video tutorial demonstrates how to solve a quadratic equation by factoring. The teacher explains the method of finding two numbers that multiply to a specific value and add to another. The example used involves a quadratic equation where a equals one, and the solution is found by setting each factor to zero and solving for x. The final solutions are x equals 8 and x equals -2.
