What do you mean by "solve this?" Until you set f(x) = to some constant number, you don't have an equation and thus can't expect to find solutions.
Why don't we take 3x^2-18x+27 and set it = to 0, and only then try to solve this equation?
3x^2-18x+27 = 0. Dividing both sides by 3, we get x^2 - 6x + 9= 0, which can be factored as
(x-3)^2 = 0. Taking the sqrt of both sides, we get x-3 = 0. Actually, there are 2 roots: 3 and 3. Again, this statement is true only if we set 3x^2-18x+27 = to 0.
