Answer

$x = 3$

Work Step by Step

The given equation is $x^{2}=6x−9$ Step 1: Write the equation in standard form. $x^{2}-6x+9=0$ Step 2: Graph the related function $y=x^{2}-6x+9$ Step 3: Find the $x$-intercept(s). The only $x$-intercept is at the vertex $(3, 0)$. So the solution is $x=3$. Check the solution: $3^2-6(3)+9=0\checkmark$
