Expert Answer
A difference in squares is given by (a^2-b^2), every problem that can be factored as the equation is a difference of squares problem, so one need to find which numbers squares, (a-b)(a+b) or (a+b)(a-b) thus the equation C,
=(-7x+4)(-7x-4)
49x^2+28X-28x-16
=49x^2-16
=(7x-4)(7x+4)
Thus, the problem has taken the factored out square shown.
