We may solve this equation as if it was any other second degree polynomial equation (because the solution set of the original equation must be a subset of it). Then x 2 5 x + 6 = ( x 2 ) ( x 3 ) = 0. x^2 - 5x + 6 = (x - 2)(x - 3) = 0. Therefore the two solutions to this equation already are integers which makes the only possible interval that which contains the points x = 2 x = 2 and x = 3 x = 3 .
