You can make it easier by replacing x^n with another variable, factoring, then putting x^n back in the end.
Using exponent and algebra rules, rewrite x^2n - 2x^n + 1 as
(x^n)^2 - (2 x x^2) + 1
Then, let x^n = m.
m^2 - 2m + 1
Now factor that: (m - 1)^2
And now put x^n back: (x^n - 1)^2

Complete question :
A company has two manufacturing plants with daily production levels of 5x + 11 items and 2x - 3 items, respectively, where x represents a minimum quantity. The first plant produces how many more items daily than the second plant?
Answer:
3x + 14
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that:
Production level of plant 1 = 5x + 11
Production level of plant 2 = 2x - 3
The first plant produces how many more items daily than the second plant :
Plant 1 production - plant 2 production
(5x + 11) - (2x - 3)
Open the bracket :
5x + 11 - 2x + 3
5x - 2x + 11 + 3
3x + 14
Daily production of plant 1 exceeds that of plant 2 by 3x + 14
Product is multiplication.
Since the answer needs to be greater than 2 either the fraction needs to be an improper fraction ( meaning the fraction would be greater than 1) or the whole number would need to be greater than 2.
One answer would be 5 x 2/3 = 3 1/3
You could put the ‘+6’ at the start of the equation so it would read as +6(x2+8x) and then expand the bracket as you normally would so you would get x2x6 which would get you 12x and then 6x8x which would get you 48x and then you could group both numbers together as they’re like terms and your final answer would be 60x
