Answer

$x=-1$ and $x=3$

Work Step by Step

The given equation is $-x^2+2x+3=0$ From the given graph. The $x-$intercepts are $-1$ and $3$. Check $x=-1$. $\Rightarrow -x^2+2x+3=0$ $\Rightarrow -(-1)^2+2(-1)+3=0$ $\Rightarrow -1-2+3=0$ $\Rightarrow -3+3=0$ $\Rightarrow 0=0$ True. Check $x=3$. $\Rightarrow -x^2+2x+3=0$ $\Rightarrow -(3)^2+2(3)+3=0$ $\Rightarrow -9+6+3=0$ $\Rightarrow -9+9=0$ $\Rightarrow 0=0$ True. Hence, the solutions are $x=-1$ and $x=3$.
