\(x^2-4x-21=0\)
\(\Leftrightarrow x^2+3x-7x-21=0\)
\(\Leftrightarrow x\left(x+3\right)-7\left(x+3\right)=0\)
\(\Leftrightarrow\left(x+3\right)\left(x-7\right)=0\)
\(\Leftrightarrow\left[{}\begin{matrix}x+3=0\\x-7=0\end{matrix}\right.\)
\(\Leftrightarrow\left[{}\begin{matrix}x=-3\\x=7\end{matrix}\right.\)
Vậy..
