Question

Solve the equation using the quadratic formula. x^2-4x+3=0

Answer 1

Let's solve your equation step-by-step.

x2−4x+3=0

Step 1: Factor left side of equation.

(x−1)(x−3)=0

Step 2: Set factors equal to 0.
x-1=0 or x-3=0

For this one add one on both sides
x−1+1=0+1 x=1
For this one add 3 on both sides
x−3+3=0+3. x=3

x=1 or x=3
