Step by step solution

Factoring this quadratic equation.
_____________
Remark:
- x + 3 x = 2 x
_____________

x² + 2 x - 3 = x² - x + 3 x - 3 =

( x² - x ) + ( 3 x - 3 )=

x ( x - 1 ) + 3 ( x - 1) =

( x - 1 ) ( x + 3 )

x² + 2 x - 3 = 0

is same as

( x - 1 ) ( x + 3 ) = 0

The equation will be equal to zero when the expressions in parentheses are equal to zero.

First solution.

x - 1 = 0

Add 1 to both sides.

x = 1

Second solution.

x + 3 = 0

Subtract 3 to both sides.

x = - 3

The solutions are:

x = - 3 and x = 1
