Question

Replace ∗ with a monomial so that the expression can be rewritten as a square of a sum or a difference:

Answer 1

Answer:

x^2

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula we should use here is (a+b)^2=a^2+2ab+b^2

Using this we should first squared 36, getting us 6

Then divide -12x by 6, getting us -2x

Then we divide-2x by -1, getting us 2x

Lastly we divide 2x by 2 to get x

x is our original factors, but to fit in the equation, we need to square it
