(x^2) - (6x) = (27)
\n" ); document.write( "-----
\n" ); document.write( "x^2 - 6x + (6/2)^2 = 27 + (6/2)^2
\n" ); document.write( "--------
\n" ); document.write( "x^2 -6x + 9 = 27 + 9
\n" ); document.write( "--------
\n" ); document.write( "(x-3)^2 = 36
\n" ); document.write( "----
\n" ); document.write( "x-3 = 6 or x - 3 = -3
\n" ); document.write( "x = 9 or x = 0
