Question

What are
the solutions of x2 - 6x + 5 = 0?

Answer 1

Answer:
X = 5
X = 1

Explanation:

You have to do this:
x^2 - 6x +5 = 0
(x-1)(x-5) =0
X = 5
X = 1

Remember that the middle variable has to be added together, so -1 + (-5) = -6.

I hope this was able to help you out :D

Answer 2

x = 5, x = 1

Explanation:

We can first figure out what digits add to -6 and multiply to 5.

In this case, -5 and -1 will add to -6, and -5 times -1 will equal to 5.

Therefore, we can create this equation:

y = (x-5)(x-1)

Since the problem asks for the solutions, we need to set the equation equal to 0:

(x-5)(x-1) = 0

This will be set to two other equations:

(x-5) = 0

(x-1) = 0

We can solve these:

x = 5

x = 1

(Typically, we can use the diamond method and/or box method to solve these equations)
