Here's one more way :

4(x^2 - 9)^2  - ( x + 3)^2        factors as

4 [ (x + 3)(x - 3)] ^2  - (x + 3)^2 =

[(x + 3}^2  [ 4 ( x + 3)^2 ] - 1 ]

And x^2 + 6x + 9   factors as  ( x + 3)(x + 3)  = (x + 3)^2

So we have

[(x + 3}^2  [ 4 ( x - 3)^2 ] - 1 ]

_______________________         we can "cancel the ( x + 3)^2  terms  and we are left with

   (x + 3)^2

4( x - 3)^2 - 1  =

4(x^2 - 6x + 9)  - 1 =

4x^2 - 24x + 36 - 1 =

4x^2 - 24x + 35       

We need two factors that multiply to 4  and 35  with the two factors multiplying to 35 both being negative

We might try  4,1  and  -5 , -7

(4x - 5) ( x - 7) =  4x^2 -5x - 28x + 35  = 4x^2 - 33x + 35....no good

Next...we might guess 2,2  and  -5, -7

(2x - 5) (2x - 7)   = 4x^2 - 10x - 14x + 35  =  4x^2 - 24x + 35   which is what we  need

Also....x  cannot equal -3  because this would make  the origianl denominator   = 0
