Answer:
answer is down
Step-by-step explanation:
STEP
1
:
Equation at the end of step 1
(9 • (x2)) - (22•32y2)
STEP

Equation at the end of step
2
:
32x2 - (22•32y2)

Pulling out like terms
4.1 Pull out like factors :
9x2 - 36y2 = 9 • (x2 - 4y2)
Trying to factor as a Difference of Squares:
4.2 Factoring: x2 - 4y2
Theory : A difference of two perfect squares, A2 - B2 can be factored into (A+B) • (A-B)
Proof : (A+B) • (A-B) =
A2 - AB + BA - B2 =
A2 - AB + AB - B2 =
A2 - B2
Note : AB = BA is the commutative property of multiplication.
Note : - AB + AB equals zero and is therefore eliminated from the expression.
Check : 4 is the square of 2
Check : x2 is the square of x1
Check : y2 is the square of y1
Factorization is : (x + 2y) • (x - 2y)

9 • (x + 2y) • (x - 2y)
