First, we can raise each number to the second power by multipying it by itself. :)
1^2=1
4^2=16
9^2=81
16^2=256
These numbers are called "perfect squares" because their square roots are whole numbers, rather than decimals. For example, If you had a square with an area of 16, the side legnths of the square would be the whole (thus "perfect") number 4. For this reason, 16 (4^2) is considered a "perfect square" number. I hope that makes sense!! :)

Step-by-step explanation:
cause
6 - x = 2(x - 6)
the first step, following PEMDAS, is to distribute the 2 to the inside of your parentheses:
6 - x = 2x - 12 ... subtract 2x
6 - 3x = -12 ... subtract 6
-3x = -18 ... divide by -3
x = 6 is the answer
