x^{2} - 36

$x^{2} - 36$

Step 1

Rewrite

36

$36$ as

6^{2}

$6^{2}$ .

x^{2} - 6^{2}

$x^{2} - 6^{2}$

Step 2

Since both terms are perfect squares, factor using the difference of squares formula,

a^{2} - b^{2} = (a + b) (a - b)

$a^{2} - b^{2} = (a + b) (a - b)$ where

a = x

$a = x$ and

b = 6

$b = 6$ .

(x + 6) (x - 6)

$(x + 6) (x - 6)$
