the x's

I can help you. let me explain so if you run into any other questions like this one in the future you can do it on your own.

anonymous · Answer

ok

kkutie7 · Answer

basically you can take anything out. so you start by splinting the equation into two.
group1: x^3 + x^2
group2:- 25x - 25
factor each group separately

kkutie7 · Answer
