Question Analysis
This question tests the student's ability to solve a quadratic equation with a leading coefficient other than 1 by factoring.

Key Concept Explanation
When the leading coefficient is not 1, the AC method can be used to factor the quadratic expression. The Zero Product Property (ZPP) is then applied to find the solutions.

Step-by-step Solution
1. Start with the quadratic equation:
2. Find two numbers that multiply to and add to : and
3. Rewrite and factor by grouping:
