Answer:
x = 5, x = 1
Step-by-step explanation:
Hello!
We can solve this quadratic by factoring.
Solve
- [tex]x^2 - 6x + 5 = 0[/tex]
- [tex]x^2 - 5x - x + 5 = 0[/tex]
- [tex]x(x - 5) - 1(x - 5) = 0[/tex]
- [tex](x - 5)(x - 1) = 0[/tex]
Use the zero product property:
- x - 5 = 0
x = 5 - x - 1 = 0
x = 1
x = 5, or x = 1
