The factors would be (x-9)(x+4).
You can use the decomposition method to find this. I personally use the chart method so I do not necessarily know how to explain the decomp method in detail. However the idea and end goal are the same for both of them.
Try to find what multiplys to the last part of the polynomial but will add to the middle part.
To check your work/factors you can try multiplying/foiling them out again to see if you get your original polynomial.

Answer:
6
Step-by-step explanation:
Draw line segments ST and RQ. Triangle RUQ and SUT are similar, because they are in a circle. Now, you use similar triangles to get that QU/UT=RU/SU so 2 = 12/SU so SU = 6, or y = 6.
Note: This is generealized by the Power of a Point, which states that if you have two chords that intersect, then you can do the same thing and it will show that QU*SU=RU*TU. (You can change the variables but the similar triangles stay the same).
