I believe that dM/dx = wl/2 - w(l-x) thus far! Is this correct before I continue?

The bending moment, M, at position x meters from the end of a simply supported beam of length l meters carrying a uniformly distributed load of wkN m^-1 is given by: M = w/2 l (l-x) - w/2 (l-x)^2 Show, using the above expression, that the maximum bending moment occurs at the...
