Cali, you don't need to delete your questions anymore.

anonymous · Answer

my questions are filling up the board and making it go slower right?

anonymous · Answer

i think you are supposed to recognize this as a "perfect square" i.e. 
$$(x-b)^2=x^2-12x+36=0$$ see if you recognize b.

hero · Answer

I recognize b

we know you do hero, your good at this crap. i am dumb as hell at math

hero · Answer

Well, you could figure it out by factoring

anonymous · Answer

and everyone who has been so kind in the past to me are now making fun of me for not understanding

hero · Answer

I hope I wasn't one of them. Why do you always think people are making fun of you. You shouldn't think like that. There are many people who don't understand this stuff.

anonymous · Answer

This equation either has one real, two real, or two non real solutions

anonymous · Answer

hero · Answer

Yes, it only has one solution. That is correct. Looks like James J had the right approach all along
