Answer:

9

Explanation:

Compare your trinomial to ...

(x +a)^2 = x^2 + 2ax + a^2

You will notice that the constant (a^2) is the square of half the x-coefficient (2a).

The x-coefficient in your trinomial is 6. The square of half that is ...

(6/2)^2 = 3^2 = 9

The value of the constant is 9 to make it a perfect square.
