Question

solve using factoring techniques

x^2 + 4x + 3 = 0

anonymous · Answer

this is what I did, but I know its not right cuz the answer isn't even in the right format
(x + 3) (x + 1) = 0

x +3 = 0      

x+3 -3   3-0

x = -3

x + 1 = 0

x+1 -1   0 -1

x = -1



(-3, -1)

those are correct answers

anonymous · Answer

must be they want factors, not the value of x

anonymous · Answer

some of the sample problems have an answer like "-3 or -1"... is this the same thing?

anonymous · Answer

put those answers in the form your work shows

anonymous · Answer

sometimes as {x|x=-3, x=-1}

I understand. I looked back up and saw "solve". When I stated it, she said it would not accept her answers, I was just throwing up a suggestion.
