We'll use the first Viete's relation, in order to calculate the sum x1 + x2 + x3.
For a polynomial ax^3+bx^2+cx+d=0,
x1 + x2 + x3 = -b/a
We'll identify the coefficients from the given polynomial:
a = 1
b = -3
c = 2
d = 0
So, calculating the sum, we'll get:
x1 + x2 + x3 = -b/a = - (-3/1)
x1 + x2 + x3 = 3
