Question:Polynomial equation with root only returns 1 solution?

I have the following equation: -(1/12)*x+1 = sqrt(x-6)+0.5

Right click -> Solve -> Obtain solutions for -> x, only returns 1 of the solutions (6.), but I know there's another solution as well (+/- root) from the quadric formula. I already set the _EnvAllSolutions=true variable, which did not help.

Why doesn't Maple return both solutions and how to get it to do that?
