Quadratic Equation: Find the Smaller Solution

Consider the quadratic equation given by:

$$2x^2 - 12x + 18 = 0$$

To solve for the values of $x$ that satisfy this equation, determine the solutions using the quadratic formula:

$$x = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}$$

Where $a$, $b$, and $c$ are coefficients from the standard form of the quadratic equation $ax^2 + bx + c = 0$. In this case, identify the values of $a$, $b$, and $c$ from the given equation and then solve for $x$. Finally, enter the smaller solution from the equation in the grid below.
