Simplify (x+3)(x-3)

Problem

(x+3)*(x−3)

Solution

1. Identify the expression as a product of a sum and a difference, which follows the difference of squares pattern (a+b)*(a−b)=a2−b2

2. Apply the formula by setting a=x and b=3

3. Square the individual terms to get x2 and 3

4. Simplify the constant term 3 to 9

Final Answer

(x+3)*(x−3)=x2−9
