Consider the quadratic equation given by:
$$2x^2 - 8x + 6 = 0$$
To find the values of $$x$$ that satisfy this equation, we can use the quadratic formula:
$$x = \f\frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}$$
where $$a = 2$$, $$b = -8$$, and $$c = 6$$. Calculate the values of $$x$$ that are solutions to the equation and then provide the smaller solution as your answer in the grid-in format.
