You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Are you supposed to be factoring or solving for x?
16x^2-36=?
This is the difference of perfect squares the rule for that is highlight%28a%5E2-b%5E2=%28a%2Bb%29%28a-b%29%29.
%284x%29%5E2-%286%29%5E2=%284x%2B6%29%284x-6%29
:
9x^2+81=?
This is the sum of perfect squares and is prime. It can't be factored or solved unless you have started using the complex number system.

If you have started using complex numbers or need these solved for x let me know.
Happy Calculating!!!
