Answer:

x=-1, x=3

Step-by-step explanation:

to solve by factoring:

1. swap the sides:  

0=(x-1)^2-4

2. expand the expression:  

(x-1)^2-4=0

3. rewrite and calculate:

x^2-2x+1-4=0

4. factor

x^2+x-3x-3=0

5. Factor... again

x(x+1)-3(x+1)=0

6. separate

(x+1) (x-3)=0

7. solve

x+1=0, x-3=0

8. and you end up with 2 solutions

x=-1, x=3
