Answer:


\boxed{\tt x=3,2}

Explanation:


\tt x^2-5x+6=0

Find two numbers that add up to -5 and multiply to 6: (-6 and -2)

Now, rewrite the expression:


\tt (x-3)(x-2)


\tt (x-3)(x-2)=0

Now, Solve for x:

1)


\tt x-3=0


\tt x-3+3=0+3


\boxed{\tt x=3}

2)


\tt x-2=0


\tt x-2+2=0+2


\boxed{\tt x=2}
