x^2 - 2x - 3 = 0
d = b^2 - 4ac
d = (-2)^2 - 4 x 1 x (-3)
d = 4 + 12 = 16
d = 16

we know that


The formula to solve a quadratic equation of the form \(ax^{2} +bx+c=0\) is equal to


\(x=\frac{-b(+/-)\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}} {2a}\)


the discriminant is equal to \({b^{2}-4ac\)

in this problem we have


\(-3=-x^{2} +2x\)  

\(x^{2}-2x-3=0\)  

so


\(a=1\\b=-2\\c=-3\)


substitute the values

\({(-2)^{2}-4(1)(-3)=4+12=16\)

therefore

the answer is

\(16\)
