\(x^2-9-4\left(x+3\right)\)
\(=\left(x-3\right)\left(x+3\right)-4\left(x+3\right)\)
\(=\left(x+3\right)\left(x-3-4\right)\)
\(=\left(x+3\right)\left(x-7\right)\)
\(x^2-9-4\left(x+3\right)\)
\(=\left(x^2-9\right)-4\left(x+3\right)\)
\(=\left(x^2-3^2\right)-4\left(x+3\right)\)
\(=\left(x-3\right)\left(x+3\right)-4\left(x+3\right)\)
\(=\left(x+3\right)\left(x-3-4\right)\)
