anonymous · Answer

the first one is obviously a difference of square: x^2-36, this will yield : (x-6)(x+6)

The second one, you have to move everything to the left side( i like positive leading coefficents) and you get: x^2-8x+12. Then simply find two numbers that multiply to be -12 and add to be -8
