To solve the equation \(x^2 + 2x = 3\), we can first rewrite it in standard form:

\[
x^2 + 2x - 3 = 0
\]

Next, we can factor this quadratic equation. We need to find two numbers that multiply to \(-3\) (the constant term) and add up to \(2\) (the coefficient of the linear term).

The factors of \(-3\) that meet these criteria are \(3\) and \(-1\). Therefore, we can factor the equation as follows:

\[
(x + 3)(x - 1) = 0
\]

Setting each factor to zero gives the solutions:

1. \(x + 3 = 0 \quad \Rightarrow \quad x = -3\)
2. \(x - 1 = 0 \quad \Rightarrow \quad x = 1\)

So, the solutions to the equation \(x^2 + 2x = 3\) are:

\[
x = -3 \quad \text{and} \quad x = 1
\]

Now we can summarize this in a response format:

**Response**: \( x = -3, 1 \) (or "x equals negative 3 comma 1")
