Explanation:
Each term in the second bracket is multiplied by each term in the first bracket. This can be achieved as follows.
#(color(red)(6y-7))(6y+7)#
#=color(red)(6y)(6y+7)color(red)(-7)(6y+7)#
#=(color(red)(6y)xx6y)+(color(red)(6y)xx7)+(color(red)(-7)xx6y)+(color(red)(-7)xx7)#
#=36y^2+42y-42y-49#
#=36y^2-49larrcolor(magenta)" difference of squares"#
