Which of the following is a solution to the equation x to the second power - 6x + 5 = 0?

Answer :

The given equation is

[tex]x^2-6x+5=0[/tex]

To find the solutions, we have to look for two numbers whose product is 5, and whose sum is 6. Those numbers are 5 and 1.

[tex]x^2-6x+5=(x-5)(x-1)[/tex]

So, the solutions are x = 5 and x = 1.
