Answer:
(You only need to give one solution)
Step-by-step explanation:
We have the following equation
First, we need to foil out the parenthesis
Now we can combine the like terms
Now, we need to factor this equation.
To factor this, we need to find a set of numbers that add together to get -3 and multiply to give us -4.
The pair of numbers that would do this would be 1 and -4.
This means that our factored form would be
As the first binomial is a difference of squares, it can be factored futher into
Now, we can get our solutions.
The first binomial will produce two complex (Not real) solutions.
So our solutions to this equation are
