Step 1 :1. \[\begin{array}{lll} x^{2}+2 x-3=0 & (x-1)(x+3)=0 & \text { Solutions: } 1 \text { and } -3 \\ x^{2}+10 x+3=-21 & (x+2)(x+4)=0 & \text { Solutions: } -2 \text { and } -4 \\ x^{2}-7 x-3=-13 & (x-5)(x-2)=0 & \text { Solutions: } 2 \text { and } 5 \end{array}\]
Step 2 :2. X The standard form of the equation is \( x^{2}+2 x-15=0 \). Correction: The standard form of the equation is \( x^{2}+2 x-9=0 \).
Step 3 :3. Write the equation in standard form. \( \quad x^{2}-4 x-12=0 \) Factor the quadratic equation. \( (x-6)(x+2)=0 \) Determine the solutions. \( x-6=0\text { or } x+2 =0 \) \[ x=6, x=-2 \] The solutions of the equation \( x^{2}-4 x+3=15 \) are 6 and -2
