Of the five quadratics listed below, four of them have two distinct roots. The fifth quadratic has a repeated root. Find the value of the repeated root.

-x^2 + 18x + 81
3x^2 - 3x - 168
x^2 - 4x - 4
25x^2 - 30x + 9
x^2 - 14x + 24

-x^2 + 18x + 81 = -(x - 9)^2, so this is the quadratic with a repeated root.

From the factorization, the repeated root is 9.
