Find the two solutions to the quadratic equation x^2-9x+18

The constant 18 can be written in the form 3*6. Therefore the brackets will take the form (x 3)(x 6). In order to find the sign in between them, we have to write -9 using 3 and 6. -9=-3-6 so the brackets are (x-3)(x-6). So the solutions are x=3 and x=6.
