x%5E2%28x%2B2%29-2x%28x%2B2%29-3%28x%2B2%29=0
Factor out the Greatest Common Factor (x+2)
%28x%2B2%29%28x%5E2-2x-3%29=0
Factor the trinomial (x^2-2x-3)
%28x%2B2%29%28x-3%29%28x%2B1%29=0
Set each factor equal to 0 and solve for x
x%2B2=0 x-3=0 x%2B1=0
highlight%28x=-2%29highlight%28x=3%29highlight%28x=-1%29
Hope that helped...happy calculating!
