x
+
1
)
Step-by-step explanation:
Factor the polynomial.
Your answer would be 1, or 72+25.
What is happening in this case is a negative number is being subtracted from a positive. This means you are taking away a negative. The two negatives cancel each other out, and then it becomes you are adding a positive.
Another way I like to think about this is the two minus symbols combine together to form a plus sign.
