To solve this equation by factoring, we need to first set the equation to zero. Subtracting 3 from both sides, we get:
x^2 + 7x + 3 - 3 = 0
x^2 + 7x = 0
Next, we factor out an x from the expression:
x(x + 7) = 0
Now, we can set each factor to zero and solve for x:
x = 0
x + 7 = 0
x = -7
Therefore, the values of x are x = 0 and x = -7.
x^2 + 7x + 3 - 3 = 0
x^2 + 7x = 0
Next, we factor out an x from the expression:
x(x + 7) = 0
Now, we can set each factor to zero and solve for x:
x = 0
x + 7 = 0
x = -7
Therefore, the values of x are x = 0 and x = -7.
