Explanation

A quadratic equation has the form:
ax² + bx + c = 0

To solve by factorization:

1. Write the equation in standard form

2. Factor the quadratic

3. Set each factor equal to zero

4. Solve for x

Example:
x² − 5x + 6 = 0
(x − 2)(x − 3) = 0
x = 2 or x = 3

This method works best when the quadratic factors cleanly.
