It factors to (x+12)(x-12)
This is the same as (x-12)(x+12) as we can multiply two expressions in any order we want. This is like saying 7*5 is the same as 5*7
I used the difference of squares rule to factor x^2 - 144. It might help to write x^2 - 144 as x^2 - 12^2, then compare it to a^2 - b^2 = (a-b)(a+b)
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
If x is inversely porportionaly to y, then for some constant k,

Since y is 4 when x = 18, k is equal to 4*18=72, so the equation is:
