So since you know that x^2-1 is equal to (x-1)(x+1),
you can figure that this factors to
(y^2-x^3)(y^2+x^3)
because you know how the difference of two squares formula, stated on the top line of this answer.
It’s b i’ve had this before
X^2-22x-48=0
x^2-24x+2x-48=0
x(x-24)+2(x-24)
(x+2)(x-24)
Solve by grouping if you are able to find distinct factors that multiply to the last term and add to the middle term...this method is rather easy with easy to manage numbers. Complete the square if you cannot find distinct factors that multiply to the last term and add to the middle term. Completing the square helps when the equation is in the form of a parabola.
