SOLUTION:

lim⁡x→2(x2−4x+3)=lim⁡x→2(x2)−lim⁡x→2(4x)+lim⁡x→2(3)=[lim⁡x→2(x)]2−4lim⁡x→2(x)+3=(2)2−4(2)+3=−1  (Answer)\begin{align*} \lim_{x\to 2}\left(x^2-4x+3\right)& = \lim_{x\to 2}\left(x^2\right)-\lim_{x\to 2}\left(4x\right)+\lim_{x\to 2}\left(3\right)\\ & =\left[\lim_{x\to 2}\left(x\right)\right]^2-4\lim_{x\to 2}\left(x\right)+3\\ & =\left(2\right)^2-4\left(2\right)+3\\ & =-1 \ \qquad \ \color{DarkOrange} \left( \text{Answer} \right)\\ \end{align*}
