Question

Rewrite the equation by completing the square.
x^2 - 4x + 3 = 0

Answer 1

Answer:

the answer would be x=3,1

Answer 2

Answer:

After completing the square, we can say:

(x - 2)² = 1

If we solve for x, this tells us that x has a value of both 1 and 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

x² - 4x + 3 = 0

We can complete the square by adding 1 to both sides:

x² - 4x + 4 = 1

(x - 2)² = 1

We can then solve for x by saying:

(x - 2)² = 1

x - 2 = √1

x = 2 ± 1

x = 1, 3
