Answer 2

Hello!

First, let's write the problem.

`49b^2-81`
To solve this, it implies finding the square root of 49 and 81.

`7*7=49`

`9*9=81`
So, we then write it like this.

`x^2-y^2=\left(x+y\right)\left(x-y\right)`
Let's plug in the values.

`=\left(7b+9\right)\left(7b-9\right)`
That would be our answer.

You can feel free to let me know if you have any questions regarding this!
