Answer:

see below

Explanation:

The first solution is incorrect. To use the zero property, the right hand side must be zero.

x^2 -5x +6 =2

Subtract 2 from each side

x^2 -5x+6-2 = 2-2

x^2 -5x+4 =0

Factor

(x-4) (x-1) =0

x-4 =0 x-1=0

x=4 x=1

The second solution is incorrect. They factored incorrectly. They would get +5x as a middle term instead of -5x

x^2 -5x +6 =2

Subtract 2 from each side

x^2 -5x+6-2 = 2-2

x^2 -5x+4 =0

Factor

(x-4) (x-1) =0

x-4 =0 x-1=0

x=4 x=1
