Answer:

-6 is in parentheses because it is a negative number. this prevents the equation from looking like a too long subtraction sign (24--6); therefore it is written as 24 - (-6).

this simplifies to 24 + 6 = 30

to negatives = a positive

We have 3⁴ = 81, so we can factorize this as a difference of squares twice:

$x^8 - \dfrac1{81} = \left(x^2\right)^4 - \left(\dfrac13\right)^4 \\\\ x^8 - \dfrac1{81} = \left(\left(x^2\right)^2 - \left(\dfrac13\right)^2\right) \left(\left(x^2\right)^2 + \left(\dfrac13\right)^2\right) \\\\ x^8 - \dfrac1{81} = \left(x^2 - \dfrac13\right) \left(x^2 + \dfrac13\right) \left(\left(x^2\right)^2 + \left(\dfrac13\right)^2\right) \\\\ x^8 - \dfrac1{81} = \left(x^2 - \dfrac13\right) \left(x^2 + \dfrac13\right) \left(x^4 + \dfrac19\right)$

Depending on the precise definition of "completely" in this context, you can go a bit further and factorize $x^2-\frac13$ as yet another difference of squares:
