$x=5$ and $x=6$

$x^2-11x+30=0$

$(x-6)(x-5)=0color(white)(aaaa)$ Factor

$x-6=color(white)a0color(white)(aaa)x-5=0color(white)(aaa)$ Set each factor equal to zero

$color(white)(a)+6color(white)a+6color(white)(aa^11a)+5color(white)(a)+5color(white)(aaaa)$ and

$color(white)(aa^1a)x=6color(white)(aaaaaaa)x=5color(white)(aaaaa)$ solve
