Answer:

x = 3, -1

Step-by-step explanation:

x² - 2x - 3

x² - 3x + x - 3

x(x - 3) + (x - 3)

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

x = 3, -1

Answer:

The roots are x=3 x=-1

Step-by-step explanation:

fx=x^2-2x-3

To find the roots we set the equation to 0

0 = x^2 -2x-3

Factor what two numbers multiply to -3 and add to -2

-3*1 = -3

-3+1 = -2

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

Using the zero product property

x-3 = 0 x+1 = 0

x=3 x=-1

The roots are x=3 x=-1

Solve the system of equations.

tino4ka555 [31]

Answer:

(2, 7) or (-6, 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given two equations:

$y=x+5$ ; and

$y = x^2+5x-7$

Since y is the subject for both the equations so we can put the values of y equal to each other to get:

$x+5=x^2+5x-7$

$x^2+5x-x-7-5=0$

$x^2+4x-12=0$

Factorizing the expression to get:

$x^2-2x+6x-12=0$

$x(x-2)+6(x-2)=0$

$(x-2) (x+6) = 0$

$x=2, x= -6$

Putting x = 2 and x = -6 in any of the equations to get the values of y:

$y=x+5$

$y =2+5$

$y=7$

and

$y =(-6)+5$

$y=1$

Therefore, solution to these equation is (2, 7) or (-6, 1).
