You can put this solution on YOUR website!
always remember this!---a%5E2%2Bb%5E2=%28a-b%29%28a%2Bb%29
It can be applied to this equation.
Here,a=x and b=6.
Thus,
x%5E2-36=%28x%2B6%29%28x-6%29

CHECK:
%28x%2B6%29%28x-6%29=x%28x-6%29%2B6%28x-6%29
%28x%2B6%29%28x-6%29=%28x%5E2-6x%29%2B%286x-36%29
%28x%2B6%29%28x-6%29=x%5E2%2B%28-6x%2B6x%29-36
%28x%2B6%29%28x-6%29=x%5E2%2B0-36
%28x%2B6%29%28x-6%29=x%5E2-36
Therefore, my solution is correct!
