Answer

$x=2$ and $x=4$

Work Step by Step

The given equation is $x^2-6x+8=0$ From the given graph. The $x-$intercepts are $2$ and $4$. Check $x=2$. $\Rightarrow x^2-6x+8=0$ $\Rightarrow (2)^2-6(2)+8=0$ $\Rightarrow 4-12+8=0$ $\Rightarrow 12-12=0$ $\Rightarrow 0=0$ True. Check $x=4$. $\Rightarrow x^2-6x+8=0$ $\Rightarrow (4)^2-6(4)+8=0$ $\Rightarrow 16-24+8=0$ $\Rightarrow 24-24=0$ $\Rightarrow 0=0$ True. Hence, the solutions are $x=2$ and $x=4$.
