Solve the following equation by using the quadratic formula. (Enter solutions from smallest to largest. If there is one solution with a multiplicity of two, enter it in both answer boxes.)
x^2-16x+64=0
Factor:
x^2-8x-8x+64 = 0
x(x-8)-8(x-8) = 0
(x-8)(x-8) = 0
--------------------
x = 8 with multiplicity 2.
