Simplify and combine like terms.

Simplify each term.

Multiply $x$ by $x$ .

$x^{2} + x \cdot - 6 - 6 x - 6 \cdot - 6 - 12 x = 36$

Move $- 6$ to the left of $x$ .

$x^{2} - 6 \cdot x - 6 x - 6 \cdot - 6 - 12 x = 36$

Multiply $- 6$ by $- 6$ .

$x^{2} - 6 x - 6 x + 36 - 12 x = 36$

Subtract $6 x$ from $- 6 x$ .

$x^{2} - 12 x + 36 - 12 x = 36$

Subtract $12 x$ from $- 12 x$ .

$x^{2} - 24 x + 36 = 36$

Subtract $36$ from both sides of the equation.

$x^{2} - 24 x + 36 - 36 = 0$
