Answer:

x = 5 and 1

Explanation:


x^2-6x+5=0\\x_(1,\:2)=(-\left(-6\right)\pm √(\left(-6\right)^2-4\cdot \:1\cdot \:5))/(2\cdot \:1)\\x_(1,\:2)=(-\left(-6\right)\pm \:4)/(2\cdot \:1)\\\rightarrow x_1=(-\left(-6\right)+4)/(2\cdot \:1),\:x_2=(-\left(-6\right)-4)/(2\cdot \:1)\\\\(-\left(-6\right)+4)/(2\cdot \:1)\\\\=(6+4)/(2\cdot \:1)\\\\=(10)/(2\cdot \:1)\\\\=(10)/(2)\\\\=5\\\\\\(-\left(-6\right)-4)/(2\cdot \:1)\\\\=(6-4)/(2\cdot \:1)\\\\=(2)/(2\cdot \:1)\\\\=(2)/(2)\\\\=1
