1) X^2+6X+9 (X+3)(X+3)
2) X62-16X+64 (X-8)(X-8)
3) X^2-6X+6=0 [I ASSUME THE SECOND = SIGN SHOULD BE A + SIGN.
USING THE QUADRATIC EQUATION WE GET
X=(-B+-SQRT[B^2-4AC])/2A
X=(6+-SQRT[36-4*1*6])/2*1
X=(6+-SQRT[36-24])/2
X=(6+-SQRT12)/2
X=(6+-3.46)/2
X=(6+3.46)/2
X=9.46/2
X=4.73 ANSWER.
X=(6-3.46)/2
X=2.54/2
X=1.27 ANSWER.
