Question 369288
Because the product of {{{(x-3)}}} and {{{(x+3) }}}must equal {{{-8}}}
If {{{x-3=8}}} and {{{x+3=-1}}} at the same time, then it would work.
If {{{x+3=-11}}}, then {{{x-3=-17}}}, {{{(-11)(-17)=187}}}
If {{{x-3=-8}}}, then {{{x+3=-2}}}, {{{(-8)(-2)=16}}}
Neither product is {{{-8}}}.

{{{(x+3)(x-3)=-8}}}
{{{x^2-9=-8}}}
{{{x^2=1}}}
{{{highlight(x=0 +- 1)}}}
