x^(2) - 36 =

x^(2) - 6^(2)

Remember two squared terms , as above, with a NEGATIVE between them can factor to

(x - 6)(x + 6)

NB

#1 ; The different signs in the brackets.

#2, Two squared terms with a POSITIVE (+) between them, does NOT factor.

#3 ; Inspect the constant, to see if it is a squared number ; 36 = 6^(2) in this case.
