Verifying Solutions and Quadratic Equations

The video tutorial explains how to write a given equation in quadratic form and solve it by factoring. It begins by identifying the variable factors of the terms and rewriting the equation in quadratic form. The tutorial then demonstrates factoring the equation and solving for the variable X. It concludes by checking the solutions for accuracy and verifying that they satisfy the original equation. The video ends with a brief mention of another example to be covered in the next video.
