x  - 6*x - 9
$$\left(x^{2} - 6 x\right) - 9$$
x^2 - 6*x - 9
The perfect square
Let's highlight the perfect square of the square three-member
$$\left(x^{2} - 6 x\right) - 9$$
To do this, let's use the formula
$$a x^{2} + b x + c = a \left(m + x\right)^{2} + n$$
where
$$m = \frac{b}{2 a}$$
$$n = \frac{4 a c - b^{2}}{4 a}$$
In this case
$$a = 1$$
$$b = -6$$
$$c = -9$$
Then
$$m = -3$$
$$n = -18$$
So,
$$\left(x - 3\right)^{2} - 18$$
