x^{2}-36-x\left(x-9\right)=0
Consider \left(x+6\right)\left(x-6\right). Multiplication can be transformed into difference of squares using the rule: \left(a-b\right)\left(a+b\right)=a^{2}-b^{2}. Square 6.
x^{2}-36-\left(x^{2}-9x\right)=0
Use the distributive property to multiply x by x-9.
x^{2}-36-x^{2}+9x=0
To find the opposite of x^{2}-9x, find the opposite of each term.
-36+9x=0
Combine x^{2} and -x^{2} to get 0.
9x=36
Add 36 to both sides. Anything plus zero gives itself.
x=\frac{36}{9}
Divide both sides by 9.
x=4
Divide 36 by 9 to get 4.
