Answer:
x = 12.633, -0.633
Step-by-step explanation:
x^2 -12x + 36 = 44
the underlined part is (x - 6) ^2
(x - 6)^2 = 44
(x - 6) = ± [tex]\sqrt{44}[/tex] (both positive and negative)
(x - 6 ) = + 6.6332495807108
x = 12.6332495807108 = 12.633
(x - 6 ) = - 6.6332495807108
x = - 6.6332495807108 + 6
= -0.6332495807108 = -0.633
