When was the first man created?

Accepted answer

In attempting to bring clarity, let's look at these scriptures as complimentary.

"Created," as stated in 1:27 is the overarching term stating that God did make man.

Genesis 1:27 So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them.

The word "formed" in 2:7 is a statement if how God created man.

Genesis 2:7 Then the Lord God formed a man[c] from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being.

Genesis One is the introductory paragraph. Genesis 2 goes into the specific detail on the creation of man in Genesis 1.

Genesis 5:1-2 ties the two passages together, wording it both ways, demonstrating Genesis 1 and 2 are speaking of the same event.
