Setting your quadratic equation equal to zero so that you can factor out GCF and solve

The video tutorial explains how to solve quadratic equations by setting them equal to zero, factoring, and applying the zero product property. It begins with the importance of setting equations to zero, especially when dealing with two variables. The tutorial then demonstrates factoring by identifying the greatest common factor and rewriting the equation as a product of expressions. Finally, it applies the zero product property to solve the equation, providing a solution set.
