Answer:

${(x - 6)}^{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$= {x}^{2} - 12x + 36 \\ = {x}^{2} - (6 + 6)x + 36 \\ = {x }^{2} - 6x - 6x + 36 \\ = x(x - 6) - 6(x - 6) \\ =(x - 6)(x - 6) \\ = {(x - 6)}^{2}$

if 1/4 of a gallon of paint is needed to paint 2/3 of a fence, how many gallons are needed to paint the entire fence? site:socra

trasher [3.6K]

$\bf \begin{array}{ccll} \stackrel{paint}{gallons}&fence\\ \cline{1-2} \\\frac{1}{4}&\frac{2}{3}\\\\ x&1 \end{array}\implies \cfrac{~~\frac{1}{4}~~}{x}=\cfrac{~~\frac{2}{3}~~}{1}\implies \cfrac{~~\frac{1}{4}~~}{\frac{x}{1}}=\cfrac{2}{3}\implies \cfrac{1}{4}\cdot \cfrac{1}{x}=\cfrac{2}{3} \\\\\\ \cfrac{1}{4x}=\cfrac{2}{3}\implies 3=8x\implies \cfrac{3}{8}=x$
