$color(green)(w = 3 , 1$

$w^2 - 4w + 3 = 0$

$w^2 - w -3w + 3 = 0$

$w (w -1 ) - 3 (w -1 ) = 0$

$(w -3) * (w -1) = 0$

$color(green)(w = 3 , 1$

$color(blue)((w-1)(w-3)$

$color(TEAL)(w^2-4w+3$
$color(teal)(=w^2-3w-w+3$
$color(teal)(=w(w-3)-1(w-3)$
$color(teal)(=(w-1)(w-3)$

How do you factor w^ { 2} - 4w + 3w^ { 2} - 4w + 3?
