is this something I'm supposed to know by now..? never thought of that method
It isn't really a method you learn (e.g. completing the square). Solving the equation requires you to be able to manipulate an equation, and that is a skill you should have.

Thanks for sharing! It's something pretty new I have never done, nice to see some simple ways to reach the solution

I wanted to share this thought...something I always think when I see Year 10s thinking they are top shit "Oh god, you don't know what senior school is like, you poor children, please don't get butt raped too hard when you realise Year 11 is easier than Year 12"

If you managed to find that x=-1 was a root, then you would need to do long division to finish the factorisation.
