Solve each equation. To start, factor the perfect square trinomial.

1. x^2-12x+36=25

There are 3 more, but I'd like if someone could explain to me how to do this, then I'll try the rest.

I'm not quite sure what the question wants me to do.

Can you factor the left side of the equation

(x-6)(x-6)

Oh wait, would then I do (x-6)^2, then square root both the sides, then I'd get x-6=plus or minus 5, then I'd add 6 to 5 and -5, and then my answer would be x=11, 1. Am I right? Or anything close to being right lol?
