Answer:

t = 36

Step-by-step explanation:

If one of the roots is "a", the equation can be factored as ...

(5x -a)(x -a) = 0

5x^2 -6ax +a^2 = 0

Comparing terms to the given equation, we see that ...

-6ax = -36x

a = 6 . . . . . . . . divide by -6

Then ...

a^2 = t

36 = t . . . . . . . substitute 6 for a

_____

The roots are 6 and 6/5.
