x_{0}^{2}-6x_{0}+5=0
All equations of the form ax^{2}+bx+c=0 can be solved using the quadratic formula: \frac{-b±\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}. The quadratic formula gives two solutions, one when ± is addition and one when it is subtraction.
x_{0}=\frac{-\left(-6\right)±\sqrt{\left(-6\right)^{2}-4\times 5}}{2}
This equation is in standard form: ax^{2}+bx+c=0. Substitute 1 for a, -6 for b, and 5 for c in the quadratic formula, \frac{-b±\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}.
x_{0}=\frac{-\left(-6\right)±\sqrt{36-4\times 5}}{2}
Square -6.
x_{0}=\frac{-\left(-6\right)±\sqrt{36-20}}{2}
Multiply -4 times 5.
x_{0}=\frac{-\left(-6\right)±\sqrt{16}}{2}
Add 36 to -20.
x_{0}=\frac{-\left(-6\right)±4}{2}
Take the square root of 16.
x_{0}=\frac{6±4}{2}
The opposite of -6 is 6.
x_{0}=\frac{10}{2}
Now solve the equation x_{0}=\frac{6±4}{2} when ± is plus. Add 6 to 4.
x_{0}=5
Divide 10 by 2.
x_{0}=\frac{2}{2}
Now solve the equation x_{0}=\frac{6±4}{2} when ± is minus. Subtract 4 from 6.
x_{0}=1
Divide 2 by 2.
x_{0}=5 x_{0}=1
The equation is now solved.

Use the distributive property to multiply 2x_{0} by 3-x_{0}.
5-x_{0}^{2}-6x_{0}=-2x_{0}^{2}
Subtract 6x_{0} from both sides.
5-x_{0}^{2}-6x_{0}+2x_{0}^{2}=0
Add 2x_{0}^{2} to both sides.
5+x_{0}^{2}-6x_{0}=0
Combine -x_{0}^{2} and 2x_{0}^{2} to get x_{0}^{2}.
x_{0}^{2}-6x_{0}=-5
Subtract 5 from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
x_{0}^{2}-6x_{0}+\left(-3\right)^{2}=-5+\left(-3\right)^{2}
Divide -6, the coefficient of the x term, by 2 to get -3. Then add the square of -3 to both sides of the equation. This step makes the left hand side of the equation a perfect square.
x_{0}^{2}-6x_{0}+9=-5+9
Square -3.
x_{0}^{2}-6x_{0}+9=4
Add -5 to 9.
\left(x_{0}-3\right)^{2}=4
Factor x_{0}^{2}-6x_{0}+9. In general, when x^{2}+bx+c is a perfect square, it can always be factored as \left(x+\frac{b}{2}\right)^{2}.
\sqrt{\left(x_{0}-3\right)^{2}}=\sqrt{4}
Take the square root of both sides of the equation.
x_{0}-3=2 x_{0}-3=-2
Simplify.
x_{0}=5 x_{0}=1
Add 3 to both sides of the equation.
