Question

solve by factoring show all work thank you :D
x^2+2x-3=0

Answer 1

you take the formula, bust it up into this:
(x+3)(x-1)
Now, you use the zero product property, which allows you to divide one out, placing the other equal to zero. So, you should have two equations:
(x+3)=0
(x-1)=0
Now, simply solve for x
x=-3, x=1

Answer 2

(x+3)(x-1)
