(X^2+8x)-(x-8)=0
x(x+8)-1(x+8)=0
(X-1)(x+8)=0
X= 1
X= -8
To simplify the expression we are going to use the distributive property of multiplication:

.
We can infer from our problem that

,

, and

. So lets apply the property to simplify our expression:

We can conclude that the correct answer is <span>
-8x3 + 6x2</span>
