As tkhunny said
You don't "solve", since there is nothing to solve. Are you trying to factor the expression? Did you forget the "=0" part?
(x-___)(x-___)
So to solve your problem :x^2-4x+3
You need to ~
#1. seperate the X's (such as tkhunny said)
(x-___)(x-___)
#2. Now you need to find two numbers that meet these qualifications
a. Multiplied together they need to equal positive 3 (+3)
b. Added together they need to equal negative 4 (-4)
#3. After you have found those two numbers you need to plug it into
this ----> (x-___)(x-__) <------ and then you need to simplify it (multiply it out) and it needs to equal your orignal problem x^2-4x+3
EXTRA TIPS-
* Start of with the least common multiples (fyi. simple numbers)
* If you get stuck than just start writing all the numbers that multiplied together equal positive three
GOOD LUCK
