\sf(-(-5)\pm√(\sf (-5)^2-4\cdot1\cdot6))/(2\cdot1)


\sf(5\pm√(\sf 25-24))/(2)


\sf(5\pm√(\sf 1))/(2)


\sf(5\pm1)/(2)


\sf x'=(5-1)/(2)~~~~~~x''=(5+1)/(2)


\sf x'=(4)/(2)~~~~~~~~~~~~x''=(6)/(2)


\sf x'=2~~~~~~~~~~~~~x''=3

Solutions = {2, 3}

x^2-5x+6=0


x=(-(-5)\pm√((-5)^2-4*1*6))/(2*1)\Leftrightarrow


\Leftrightarrow x=(5\pm√(25-4*6))/(2)\Leftrightarrow


\Leftrightarrow x=(5\pm√(25-24))/(2)\Leftrightarrow


\Leftrightarrow x=(5\pm√(1))/(2)\Leftrightarrow


\Leftrightarrow x=(5\pm1)/(2)\Leftrightarrow


\Leftrightarrow x=(5-1)/(2)\;\;\;\vee\;\;\;x=(5+1)/(2)\Leftrightarrow


\Leftrightarrow x=(4)/(2)\;\;\;\vee\;\;\;x=(6)/(2)\Leftrightarrow


\Leftrightarrow x=2\;\;\;\vee\;\;\;x=3

Answer:
x\in\{2\;;\;3\}
