AnswerClick to flip back
A
x = 2, 3
💡 Explanation:
To solve this equation, we can use the quadratic formula: x = (-b ± √(b^2 - 4ac)) / 2a. Plugging in the values of a, b, and c, we get: x = (-(-5) ± √((-5)^2 - 4(1)(6))) / 2(1). Simplifying this, we get: x = (5 ± √(25 - 24)) / 2. Further simplifying, we get: x = (5 ± 1) / 2. Therefore, x = 2 or x = 3.
