how do you solve n^2-6n+9
n^2 - 6n + 9 = 0
(n-3)*(n-3)= 0
Using the rule if a*b = 0 a=0 or b=0:
(n-3) = 0
n=3

n^2-6n+9=0
(n-3)(n-3)=0
n-3=0
n=3 with a multiplicity of 2 (meaning the answer occurs twice.)

Do you want to solve it or factor it?
Equations are solved, and all equations have an equal sign. This is not an equation, it's an expression, a polynomial.
-------------------
It can be factored.
n%5E2+-+6n+%2B+9+=+%28n-3%29%5E2
