Divide -18, the coefficient of the x term, by 2 to get -9. Then add the square of -9 to both sides of the equation. This step makes the left hand side of the equation a perfect square.
x_{0}^{2}-18x_{0}+81=151+81
Square -9.
x_{0}^{2}-18x_{0}+81=232
Add 151 to 81.
\left(x_{0}-9\right)^{2}=232
Factor x_{0}^{2}-18x_{0}+81. In general, when x^{2}+bx+c is a perfect square, it can always be factored as \left(x+\frac{b}{2}\right)^{2}.
\sqrt{\left(x_{0}-9\right)^{2}}=\sqrt{232}
Take the square root of both sides of the equation.
x_{0}-9=2\sqrt{58} x_{0}-9=-2\sqrt{58}
Simplify.
x_{0}=2\sqrt{58}+9 x_{0}=9-2\sqrt{58}
Add 9 to both sides of the equation.
