Answer:
You are <em>squaring x and -5 on the first equation</em>, and on the second equation you are <em>just squaring x and subtracting 5.</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
And since on the first equation x and -5 are in parenthesis that means that the square goes to both of them.
And the second one there is no parenthesis so the square only goes to the x.
I hope this helps you.
