Which of the following equations is quadratic?

5x + 4
x^2 – 6x + 5
y^2 – 5
8x – 8

The correct answer is: x^2 – 6x + 5

A quadratic equation is an equation in the form of ax^2 + bx + c, with a squared variable term and at least one other variable term. Out of the given options, only B fits this criteria as it has a squared variable term, x^2, and another variable term, -6x. A and D only have one variable term each, while C has a variable term but is not squared, making them all not quadratic equations.
