If you mean: x2+6x+8 then it is (x+4)(x+2) when factored
In the equation x2 = 6x - 9, all terms must be moved to one side of the equals sign, giving x2 - 6x + 9 = 0. This becomes factorable to (x -3)(x-3).
If -6x = 8, then x = -4/3.
x2 + 6x + 8 =(x + 2)(x +4)
2x2 + 6x - 8 = 72 ∴ 2x2 + 6x + 64 =0 ∴ x2 + 3x + 32 = 0 This can not be factored, as x is not equal to any integer. Using the quadratic equation, we find that: x = -3/2 ± √119 / 2i
