Factoring a polynomial by difference of two squares and GCF first

The video tutorial explains how to simplify equations using the difference of two squares method. It begins by introducing the concept and identifying squared numbers in equations. The teacher emphasizes the importance of factoring out the greatest common factor (GCF) before applying the difference of squares. The tutorial concludes with a practical example, demonstrating how to factor an equation using these techniques.
