a, \(x^2+6x-4y^2+9=\left(x+3\right)^2-4y^2\)
\(=\left(x-2y+3\right)\left(x+2y+3\right)\)
b, \(x^2-7x+xy-7y=x\left(x-7\right)+y\left(x-7\right)=\left(x+y\right)\left(x-7\right)\)
b)\(x^2-7x+xy-7y\)
\(=x^2+xy-7x-7y\)
\(=\left(x^2+xy\right)-\left(7x+7y\right)\)
\(=x\left(x+y\right)-7\left(x+y\right)\)
\(=\left(x+y\right)\left(x-7\right)\)
