piece of cake!
x² - 4x + 4 = (x - 2)² = 9
<=> x - 2 = 3 or x - 2 = -3
<=> x = 5 or x = -1

X^2-4x+4=?
X1^2-4x+4=?
2-4x+4=? 4x2x+4=?
4x+4=?
ans 16

ok let me try it
first put the 9 over the equals sign to make this equation:
x^2 -4x -5
then factorise it it will become this:
(x-5)(x+1) right?
so x=5 or x=-1 correct?
