36b%5E2%2B12bc%2Bc%5E2-64 = highlight%2836b%5E2%2B12bc%2Bc%5E2%29-8%5E2 = %286b%2Bc%29%5E2-8%5E2
Here, we apply the formula a%5E2-b%5E2+=+%28a%2Bb%29%28a-b%29
So %286b%2Bc%29%5E2-8%5E2 = %286b%2Bc%2B8%29%286b%2Bc-8%29. Answer.
The problem is solved assuming that you wanted to factorise the expression. I hope this is clear to you.
