How do you solve the quadratic equation ${{x}^{2}}-10x+9=0$?

Hint: In this problem we have given an equation and asked to find the solution. We can observe that the given equation is a quadratic equation. Now we will compare the obtained equation with the standard equation $a{{x}^{2}}+bx+c$ and, now we will calculate the value of $ac$ and write the factors of the value $ac$. From the factors of the $ac$, we will consider any two factors such that $b={{x}_{1}}+{{x}_{2}}$, $ac={{x}_{1}}\times {{x}_{2}}$. Now we will split the middle term $bx$ by using the value $b={{x}_{1}}+{{x}_{2}}$. Now we will take appropriate terms as common and simplify the equation to get the factors of the quadratic equation. After calculating the factors, we will equate each factor to zero and simplify them to get the roots.

Complete step by step solution:
Given the equation, ${{x}^{2}}-10x+9=0$.
Comparing the above equation with the standard form of the quadratic equation $a{{x}^{2}}+bx+c$, then we will get
$a=1$, $b=-10$, $c=9$.
Now the value of $ac$ will be
$\begin{align}
  & \Rightarrow ac=1\times 9 \\
 & \Rightarrow ac=9 \\
\end{align}$
Factors of the value $9$ are $1$, $3$, $9$. From the above factors we can write that
$\begin{align}
  & -1\times -9=9 \\
 & -1-9=-10 \\
\end{align}$
So, we can split the middle term which is $-10x$ as $-x-9x$. Now the quadratic equation is modified as
$\Rightarrow {{x}^{2}}-10x+9={{x}^{2}}-x-9x+9$
Taking $x$ as common from the terms ${{x}^{2}}-x$ and taking $-9$ as common from the terms $-9x+9$, then we will get
$\Rightarrow {{x}^{2}}-10x+9=x\left( x-1 \right)-9\left( x-1 \right)$
Now taking $x-1$ as common from the above equation, then we will get
$\Rightarrow {{x}^{2}}-10x+9=\left( x-1 \right)\left( x-9 \right)$
Equating each factor to zero, then we will get
$\begin{align}
  & x-1=0\text{ or }x-9=0 \\
 & \Rightarrow x=1\text{ or }x=9 \\
\end{align}$
Hence the roots of the given equation ${{x}^{2}}-10x+9=0$ are $x=1,9$.
