Factoring a trinomial with multiple variables when a =1

The video tutorial explains the process of factoring expressions, initially ignoring variables to simplify the problem. It then guides viewers through identifying factors of a number and incorporating variables back into the expression. The tutorial concludes with verifying the solution and emphasizing the importance of including variables in the final expression.
