Dear student,
The solution goes as:
$4a^2-9b^2-\left ( 2a+3b \right )=\left ( 2a+3b \right )\left ( 2a-3b \right )-\left ( 2a+3b \right )=\left ( 2a+3b \right )\left ( 2a-3b+1 \right )$ Regards

sir,

shouldn’t it be (2a + 3b) (2a -3b – 1)

if not why?

yes u are correct, it was a typing mistake.
$?4a^2-9b^2-\left ( 2a+3b \right )=\left ( 2a+3b \right )\left ( 2a-3b \right )-\left ( 2a+3b \right )=\left ( 2a+3b \right )\left ( 2a-3b-1 \right )$
