lease Help ME! how do you solve this as a quadratic equation??

:
First get rid of the fraction, multiply the equation by 12, resulting in:
x^2 + 36 = 12x
:
Arrange as quadratic equation:
x^2 - 12x + 36 = 0
:
This is a perfect square and is easily factored:
(x-6)(x-6) = 0
x = +6
:
Check in original equation
