The solution

You have entered [src]
(x - 3)*(9 - x) = 1
$$\left(9 - x\right) \left(x - 3\right) = 1$$
Detail solution
Move right part of the equation to
left part with negative sign.

The equation is transformed from
$$\left(9 - x\right) \left(x - 3\right) = 1$$
to
$$\left(9 - x\right) \left(x - 3\right) - 1 = 0$$
Expand the expression in the equation
$$\left(9 - x\right) \left(x - 3\right) - 1 = 0$$
We get the quadratic equation
$$- x^{2} + 12 x - 28 = 0$$
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 - it is the discriminant.
Because
$$a = -1$$
$$b = 12$$
$$c = -28$$
, then
D = b^2 - 4 * a * c = 

(12)^2 - 4 * (-1) * (-28) = 32

Because D > 0, then the equation has two roots.
x1 = (-b + sqrt(D)) / (2*a)

x2 = (-b - sqrt(D)) / (2*a)

or
$$x_{1} = 6 - 2 \sqrt{2}$$
$$x_{2} = 2 \sqrt{2} + 6$$
