A.

x = 2 or 1

B.

x = 3 or -1

C.

x = 1 or 0

D.

x = 1 or 2

Correct Answer: x = 3 or -1

Explanation

x2 − 2x − 3 = 0 −3x + x = − 2x − 3x × x = − 3x2 (x2 − 3x)(x − 3) = 0 (x − 3)(x + 1) = 0 Either (x − 3) = 0 or (x + 1) = 0 x = 3 or − 1

x2 − 2x − 3 = 0 −3x + x = − 2x − 3x × x = − 3x2 (x2 − 3x)(x − 3) = 0 (x − 3)(x + 1) = 0 Either (x − 3) = 0 or (x + 1) = 0 x = 3 or − 1
