The expression is rewritten in standard form and they are not the same due to the negative.

<h3>What is simplification of an expression?</h3>

Usually, simplification involves proceeding with the pending operations in the expression.

Simplification usually involves making the expression simple and easy to use later.

Both (x−3)(x+3) and (3−x)(3+x) contain a sum and a difference and have only 3 and x in each factor.

Let see the equation formed by the factor;

(x−3)(x+3)

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

= x^2 - 9

(3−x)(3+x)

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

= 9 - x^2

The expression is rewritten in standard form and they are not the same due to the negative.
