\n" ); document.write( "X^2-12x=-36. Stating the original problem
\n" ); document.write( "X^2-12x+36=0 Add 36 to each side
\n" ); document.write( "(x-6)(x-6). Factoring

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
You solved it
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x%5E2-12x%2B36=0\"$
\n" ); document.write( "(1) $\"+%28x+-+6%29%5E2+=+0+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "This is called a double root.
\n" ); document.write( "The graph touches the x-axis in one place
\n" ); document.write( "What value of $\"x\"$ makes (1) true?
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x+=+6\"$ makes it true. That's the solution.
\n" ); document.write( "Here's the graph:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+graph%28+400%2C+400%2C+-10%2C+10%2C+-10%2C+10%2C+x%5E2+-+12x+%2B+36%29+\"$ \n" ); document.write( "
