OpenStudy (anonymous):

you were right up above like @DaBest21 said. You're not finding dimensions or solving for x, just writing the expression.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you dont need to simplify

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the only thing is you should use parentheses so it doesn't look like subtraction/addition (x+1)(x-1)x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So what would i put the answer down as?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(x+1)(x-1)x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I dont have an option of putting parenthesis
