Answer 2

Simple....

you have:
`-(5- x)^(2)`

(The negative you have in front of this is either not supposed to be here or it's trying to trick you..)


`-(5- x)^(2)`

Substitute the (-) into the equation-->>>


`(-5+ x)^(2)`

or


`(x-5)^(2)`

And then this turns into a very understandable math problem-->>

x*x=
`x^(2)`

-5*x= -5x

-5*x= -5x

-5*-5= 25

Now we add it all up-->>>


`x^(2)`-10x+25

Thus, your answer.
