Solve an equation by factoring

The video tutorial explains how to solve the equation V + 5 ^2 = 0 using two methods: factoring and inverse operations. The first method involves rewriting the equation and applying the zero product property to find the solution V = -5. The second method uses inverse operations by taking the square root of both sides to isolate the variable, leading to the same solution. Both methods demonstrate different approaches to solving quadratic equations.
