(6-5x)(6+5x)=
you need to visualize the foil method, Krill.
first start with the 6 in the first set and multiple with the second set <whole>
6 (6+5x) = 36+30x
second start with the -5x in the first set and multiple with the second set <whole>
-5x (6+5x) = -30x-25x^2
note
x^2 = x to the 2nd power
after the basic foil is done, you must combine all like terms.
x^2 terms may not be combine with 2x terms in short.
36-25x^2 should be your answer.

Let the student work a little bit himself. I referred to my previous answer for him to guide himself to the right solution.

This is in the form (a-b)*(a+b). See my answer to your previous question to figure the answer to this one.

Fred, do you know the difference between equation and expression?
