Solve 3x^2 - 27 = 0 by factoring

3x^2 -27 =0

3(x^2 - 9) = 0

3(x^2 - 3^2) = 0

Now factor using the difference of two squares.

I'm having a lotta trouble with this one...3x^2 -27 =0 can anyone help me??
Not sure why you're going at it that way, mts; keep it simple; divide by 3:
x^2 - 9 = 0
(x - 3)(x + 3) = 0

Now what does x equal?
