P(x) = x^2 -3x +2
0= x^2 -(2+1)x +2
0=x^2 -2x -x +2
0=x(x-2) -1 ( x+2)
0=( x-1)(x-2)
So, x-1 =0
x=1
x-2 =0
x=2
==================================
✔Always look at the sign of constant ie last term, of it is positive, then you need terms such that there addition gives the middle term.
✔If it is negative, there subtraction will give middle term.
✔For convenience, always factorise the constant, then calculate in your mind.
