You can put this solution on YOUR website!
x^2-2x-3=0
\n" ); document.write( "(x-3)(x+1)=0 [factor]
\n" ); document.write( "x-3=0 [set each factor equal to zero and solve for the x-value]
\n" ); document.write( "x=3
\n" ); document.write( "and
\n" ); document.write( "x+1=0
\n" ); document.write( "x=-1
\n" ); document.write( "So, the solutions are x = 3 and x = -1
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
