Answer:

x^2-12x+36

Explanation:

The first step in solving this equation is to expand the square which makes the equation (x-6)(x-6). Then you distribute the x to both parentheses which leaves you with x^2-6x, and then you distribute the 6 to both parentheses which gives you 6x+36. Then add both binomials which leaves you with x^2-12x+36. The reason it is +36 and not -36 is because you are multiplying a negative 6 by another negative 6.
