Answer:
Only 6
Step-by-step explanation:
We need to factor the equation to find the solution. TO factor we need to find what times what = 36, and what plus what equals -12.
-6 times -6 = 36
and -6 + -6 = -12
So this can be factored into
(x-6)(x-6)=0
We can find the solution by setting each parentheses equal to zero.
x-6 = 0
x = 6
So the only solution is 6
I attached an image that shows an example of factoring.
