Algebra 2 Solving Quadratic Equations by Factoring
Lecture Description
One of the ways to solve quadratic equations using algebraic technique is factoring. You can factor quadratic equations by the greatest common factor, the difference of two squares, perfect square trinomials, and general trinomials. Once our quadratic is factored, we use the zero product rule. Using this rule, we set each factor to be equal to zero and then find the solutions. We can always check whether our solution is valid or not, by substituting the result into the quadratic equation we started from. For more about each of these techniques and how to use them to solve quadratics, watch our lecture series.

All examples say example 1...
also 3rd example (3x^2 = 27) would be easier i you just divide both sides by 3 to get x^2 = 9
