17) -9x² + y²
= -(9x² - y²)
= -(3x - y)(3x + y)
18) (x - 3)² - 16y²
= (x - 3 - 4y)(x - 3 + 4y)
19) (x + 5)² - (y - 7)²
= [(x + 5) - (y - 7)][(x + 5) + (y - 7)]
= (x - y + 12)(x + y - 2)
20) 16(2x + 3)² - 9(5x - 2)²
= [4².(2x + 3)²] - [3²(5x - 2)²]
= (8x + 12)² - (15x - 6)²
= [(8x + 12) - (15x - 6)][(8x + 12) + (15x - 6)]
= (18 - 7x)(23x + 6)
