Read MoreSolve for x: 2x + 5 = 13
Solution:
Step 1: Subtract 5 from both sides: 2x = 8
Step 2: Divide both sides by 2: x = 4
Answer: x = 4
Solve using the quadratic formula: x² - 5x + 6 = 0
Solution:
Step 1: Identify a=1, b=-5, c=6
Step 2: Apply quadratic formula: x = [5 ± √(25 - 24)]/2
Step 3: Simplify: x = [5 ± 1]/2
Step 4: Solutions: x = 3 or x = 2
Answer: x = 3, 2
