How to factor out a common term to solve a quadratic equation

The video tutorial explains the process of solving quadratic equations with two variables. It highlights the need for factoring when dealing with quadratic and linear terms. The teacher demonstrates factoring by finding the greatest common factor (GCF) and applying the Zero Product Property to solve the equation. The lesson concludes with deriving the solution set and ensuring understanding through questions.

What is the main reason the teacher states we cannot solve the quadratic equation in the same way as previous problems?
