By differentiating ,equation becomes 3x^2-6x+3=3*(x-1)*(x-1).
So,at x =1, the above eq will be zero and hence it will be a turning point for the graph of the given equation.
As( x-1) is occurring twice ,it can be considered two turning points(actually one meet ing at same place on graph of the eq.mentinoned in the question.
So as their are 2 turning points ,
Number of real roots= turning points +1
=2+1=3
