Well, I would just reverse it. It seems you just have to reverse the whole problem.

Answer: Determine whether (–x)3 + 5(–x) + 1 is equivalent to x3 + 5x + 1.
To determine if a function is even, we need to check if f(-x)=f(x).
Answer: The primary cause of low pH in precipitation over northeastern North America is sulphuric acid (H2SO4) from industrial and urban emissions of sulphur dioxide (SO2). Nitric acid (HNO3) generated from emissions of nitrogen oxides (NOx) is a significant contributing factor in this region.
Step-by-step explanation:
First you open 2 parenthesis with x in each one:
(x )(x )=0
Then, you place the sign of the second term (the x term) in the first parenthesis.
(x+ )(x )=0
Next, you multiply the signs of the x term and the sign of the constant (the third term).
Since + × - = -, then you place a -.
(x+ )(x- )=0
You look at the constant (-18) and the second term (3). What two numbers multiplied give you -18 but subtracted (since the signs inside the parenthesis are opposite) give you 3? Those numbers are 6 and 3.
Since the result of the substraction need to be 3, you place the 6 with the + sign and the 3 with the negative sign (if you think of it, 6-3=3 but 3-6 = -3. That's the reason behind placing the numbers)
(x+6)(x-3)=0
Therefore,
x+6=0 or x-3=0
x=-6 or x=3
Your roots are -6 and 3.
