In this problem, we first need to factorize the equation, then determine the value/s of x.
.
Problem:
x%5E2-6x%2B9=0
%28x-3%29%28x-3%29=0
.
Any number multiplied by zero would equal zero.
Since the equation equal to zero, at least one of the terms must equal zero.
In this case both terms are the same x-3
So what would make this zero? ...when x=3.
.
The solution is x=3.
