Question

(x-3)^(2)-(x+1)^(2) Remove the brackets and simplify

Answer 1

The correct answer to your question is -8

Answer 2

- 8x + 8

Explanation:

(x - 3)² - (x + 1)² ← expand factors using FOIL

= x² - 6x + 9 - (x² + 2x + 1) ← distribute parenthesis by - 1

= x² - 6x + 9 - x² - 2x - 1 ← collect like terms

= - 8x + 8
