a) \(9x^2-16\)
\(=\left(3x\right)^2-4^2\)
\(=\left(3x-4\right)\left(3x+4\right)\)
b) \(x^2+4xy+4y^2-3x-6y\)
\(=\left(x^2+4xy+4y^2\right)-\left(3x+6y\right)\)
\(=\left[x^2+2\cdot x\cdot2y+\left(2y\right)^2\right]-3\left(x+2y\right)\)
\(=\left(x+2y\right)^2-3\left(x+2y\right)\)
\(=\left(x+2y\right)\left(x+2y-3\right)\)
