Solve by factoring out GCF

The video tutorial explains how to find the X values when Y equals zero by rewriting the equation and factoring it. The process involves identifying the greatest common factor (GCF) and factoring out terms to put the equation in intercept form. The tutorial also covers dividing fractions by using reciprocals and applying the zero product property to solve quadratic equations, resulting in solutions for X.

What is the first step in solving for x when y equals zero in a quadratic equation?

• Rewrite the equation with y as zero

• Multiply both sides by zero

• Add a constant to both sides

• Subtract x from both sides

When factoring out a common term, what is the greatest common factor (GCF) used for?
