To solve the equation \( x^2 + 2x = 3 \), we can rearrange it to standard form:
\[ x^2 + 2x - 3 = 0 \]
Next, we can factor the quadratic equation:
\[ (x + 3)(x - 1) = 0 \]
Setting each factor equal to zero gives us the solutions:
- \( x + 3 = 0 \) → \( x = -3 \)
- \( x - 1 = 0 \) → \( x = 1 \)
Thus, the solutions to the equation \( x^2 + 2x = 3 \) are:
\[ x = -3, \quad x = 1 \]
The correct response among the choices provided is:
x = −3, 1
