Answer

{$-\frac{9}{2}$}

Work Step by Step

Factoring the equation and setting the factors equal to zero, we obtain: $4x^{2}+36x+81=0$ $4x^{2}+18x+18x+81=0$ $2x(2x+9)+9(2x+9)=0$ $(2x+9)(2x+9)=0$ $(2x+9)=0$ or $(2x+9)=0$ $x=-\frac{9}{2}$ or $x=-\frac{9}{2}$ Therefore, the solution set is {$-\frac{9}{2}$}.
