Answer:

x = 2, x = 9

Explanation:

Given

x² - 11x + 18 = 0

Consider the factors of the constant term (+ 18) which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term (- 11)

The factors are - 9 and - 2 , since

- 9 × - 2 = + 18 and - 9 - 2 = - 11 , thus

(x - 9)(x - 2) = 0 ← in factored form

Equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x - 2 = 0 ⇒ x = 2 ← lesser value

x - 9 = 0 ⇒ x = 9 ← greater value
