What is the solution of the equation x2 - 4x + 3 = 0?

{3,1}
{2,1}
{2,-3}
{1,-3}

The correct answer is: {2,1}

The solution to this quadratic equation is a set of values that make the equation true when substituted for x. In this case, the solution is given by the two values of x that satisfy the equation when substituted. Option A is incorrect because it gives the values in the wrong order (x=1 makes the equation true, not x=3). Option C is incorrect because it gives one value that makes the equation true (x=2), but not the other value. Option D is incorrect because it gives one value that does not make the equation true (x=-3) and the other value is incorrect. Therefore, the solution to the equation is {2, 1}.
