x^2 - 6x - 8 = 1

x^2 - 6x - 9 = 0

Equation cannot be factored. Do you have typos?
if Y = X2(xsquared) -6x - 8 find the value(s) of x when y =1.

yes there was a typo its x squared i don't know how to rise the 2
Do as I do. x^2 = x squared.

x^2 - 6x - 8 = 1

x^2 - 6x - 9 = 0

This still cannot be factored.

(x-3)(x-3) = x^2 - 6x +9

(x-3)(x+3) = x^2 -9
