Solving a quadratic when a is not equal to one

The video tutorial explains how to solve equations by setting them to zero, particularly focusing on quadratic equations. It covers the factoring technique, including the A times C method, and how to find factors that multiply to a specific number and add to another. The tutorial also demonstrates splitting the middle term and using grouping to simplify equations. Finally, it applies the zero product property to find solutions, emphasizing the importance of mastering these steps before moving to quicker methods.
