To solve the quadratic equation , we can factor it.

1.Identify factors:

We need to find two numbers that multiply to 36 (the constant term) and add up to -12 (the coefficient of x).

The two numbers that satisfy these conditions are -6 and -6 because:
(-6) x (-6) = 36 and (-6) + (-6) = -12
 

2.Factor the quadratic equation:

We can express the quadratic equation as:
