36*x  + 12*x + 1 = 0
$$36 x^{2} + 12 x + 1 = 0$$
Detail solution
This equation is of the form
$$a\ x^2 + b\ x + c = 0$$
A quadratic equation can be solved using the discriminant
The roots of the quadratic equation:
$$x_{1} = \frac{\sqrt{D} - b}{2 a}$$
$$x_{2} = \frac{- \sqrt{D} - b}{2 a}$$
where $D = b^2 - 4 a c$ is the discriminant.
Because
$$a = 36$$
$$b = 12$$
$$c = 1$$
, then
$$D = b^2 - 4\ a\ c = $$
$$\left(-1\right) 36 \cdot 4 \cdot 1 + 12^{2} = 0$$
Because D = 0, then the equation has one root.
x = -b/2a = -12/2/(36)

$$x_{1} = - \frac{1}{6}$$
Vieta's Theorem
rewrite the equation
$$36 x^{2} + 12 x + 1 = 0$$
of
$$a x^{2} + b x + c = 0$$
as reduced quadratic equation
$$x^{2} + \frac{b x}{a} + \frac{c}{a} = 0$$
$$x^{2} + \frac{x}{3} + \frac{1}{36} = 0$$
$$p x + x^{2} + q = 0$$
where
$$p = \frac{b}{a}$$
$$p = \frac{1}{3}$$
$$q = \frac{c}{a}$$
$$q = \frac{1}{36}$$
Vieta Formulas
$$x_{1} + x_{2} = - p$$
$$x_{1} x_{2} = q$$
$$x_{1} + x_{2} = - \frac{1}{3}$$
$$x_{1} x_{2} = \frac{1}{36}$$
