Solving Quadratic Equations by Substitution

The video tutorial explains how to solve a quadratic equation using substitution. It begins by introducing the concept of substitution to simplify the equation, followed by factoring the simplified equation. The tutorial then demonstrates solving for the variable p and finding the solutions. Finally, it verifies that the solutions satisfy the original equation, ensuring the correctness of the method used.

What is the first step in solving a quadratic equation using substitution?
