Question

Solve for all values of x by factoring.
x^2 – 3x – 1= -3x + 3

Answer 1

x = ± 2

Explanation:

Given

x² - 3x - 1 = - 3x + 3 ( subtract - 3x + 3 from both sides )

x² - 4 = 0 ( add 4 to both sides )

x² = 4 ( take the square root of both sides )

x = ±
`√(4)` = ± 2

Solution is x = - 2, x = 2

Answer 2

x^2-3x-1+3x-3=0

x^2-4=0

x^2=4

X=2,,X=-2
