Step One
Take out the common factor (2) from all three terms.
y = 2(x^2 - 4x + 3)

Step Two
Factor the trinomial
y = 2(x - 3)(x - 1)

Step Three
solve to find the x value of the order paid.
x - 3 = 0 Add 3 to both sides.
x - 3 + 3 = 3
x = 3

x - 1 = 0 Add 1 to both sides.
x - 1 + 1 = 1
x = 1

Step Four
Write the ordered pairs.
