You can use the X Method to Factor Quadratics whether or not the squared term has a coefficient!

Learn the X Method for Factoring Quadratic Equations, even when the coefficient of the squared term is greater than 1. This video also gives a good review of factoring by grouping, and shows how to use the X Method to factor quadratic equations where the first term is just x squared, and then how to use the X Method plus Factoring by Grouping to factor a Quadratic Equation whose squared term has a coefficient greater than 1.
