Answer:

Explanation:

In order to find the values to factorize the equation, we need to find the factors the factors of 3 that sum to 4

The factors of 3 are
\pm: 1, 3

We can make 4 with 1 + 3

Since all the values are positive, both of the factors will have addition


x^2+4x+3\\(x+3)(x+1)\\\\x^2 + x + 3x + 3\\x^ + 4x + 3
