Question 599599: Solve the equation by a method of your choice: x2 - 2x - 3 = 0
If there are two solutions, separate the solutions by a comma. This is what i get but i got it wrong (X + -1), (X + 3). whats the right answer? Answer by nerdybill(7384) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Solve the equation by a method of your choice: x2 - 2x - 3 = 0
.
Solve by "factoring":
x^2 - 2x - 3 = 0
(x+1)(x-3) = 0
setting each term (in parenthesis) we get:
x = {-1, 3} (two solutions)
