Q. Solve for x x . Enter the solutions from least to greatest.\newlinex211x+18=0 lesser x= greater x= \begin{array}{l} x^{2}-11 x+18=0 \\ \text { lesser } x=\square \\ \text { greater } x=\square \end{array}
  1. Identify Equation Type: Identify the type of equation. We have a quadratic equation in the form x211x+18=0x^2 - 11x + 18 = 0.
  2. Factor Quadratic Equation: Factor the quadratic equation. Look for two numbers that multiply to 1818 and add up to 11-11. The numbers are 9-9 and 2-2 because 9×2=18-9 \times -2 = 18 and 9+2=11-9 + -2 = -11. So, the factored form is (x9)(x2)=0(x - 9)(x - 2) = 0.
  3. Set Factors Equal: Set each factor equal to zero. If (x9)(x2)=0(x - 9)(x - 2) = 0, then either x9=0x - 9 = 0 or x2=0x - 2 = 0.
  4. Solve for x (11st equation): Solve for x in the first equation. Add 99 to both sides of x9=0x - 9 = 0 to get x=9x = 9.
  5. Solve for x (22nd equation): Solve for x in the second equation. Add 22 to both sides of x2=0x - 2 = 0 to get x=2x = 2.
  6. List Solutions: List the solutions from least to greatest. The lesser xx is 22, and the greater xx is 99.
