Answer 1

add x squared to both sides of the equation and post what you got.

Answer 2

0=xsquared-5x+6

Answer 3

now, do you know how to solve quadratic equations of the form
ax2+bx+c = 0?

Answer 4

yes

Answer 5

then go ahead and do that in your problem.

Answer 6

x=1

Answer 7

mary, we help them get their answers, not solve their problems for them

Answer 8

a=0xsquared b=-5x and c=6

Answer 9

connor that is not the answer so keep working

Answer 10

how did you get a = 0?

Answer 11

-xsquared=-5x+6
+x +x
-5x+6+x
-6 -6
-5x-5
/-5 /-5
x=1

Answer 12

that it

Answer 13

0 = x^2 - 5x + 6 that factors into
0 = (x - 3)(x - 2) do you know how to solve from here?

Answer 14

sorry internet stopped working

Answer 15

so -2,-1?

Answer 16

either x - 3 = 0 or x - 2 = 0

solve for x

x = 3 or x = 2

Answer 17

but im supposed to get the coordinates like (blank,0) and (blank,0)

Answer 18

x=1

Answer 19

so -2,0 and -3,0?
