Move right part of the equation to
left part with negative sign.
The equation is transformed from
$$\left(x + 9\right)^{2} = 36 x$$
to
$$- 36 x + \left(x + 9\right)^{2} = 0$$
Expand the expression in the equation
$$- 36 x + \left(x + 9\right)^{2} = 0$$
We get the quadratic equation
$$x^{2} - 18 x + 81 = 0$$
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
$$a = 1$$
$$b = -18$$
$$c = 81$$
, then
D = b^2 - 4 * a * c =
(-18)^2 - 4 * (1) * (81) = 0
Because D = 0, then the equation has one root.
x = -b/2a = --18/2/(1)
$$x_{1} = 9$$
