Ignore my work. can you solve and show all work,

Answer is (1): 2 times (x^2 -13)

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the FOIL method, you can conclude that (x-5)(x+5) is X^2 -5x +5x -25. Since the two middle terms cancel, you are left with X^2 -25. For the right side of the equation, (x-1)(x+1), using the FOIL method gets you x^2 -x +x -1. Once again, the -x and x cancel out and you end up with X^2 -1. To add both of these together, you can get rid of all parentheses and do the work. Two x^2 added together is 2X^2, and -25-1 is negative 26. After this, you end up with 2x^2 -26. To get to your final answer you need to take out the GCF of both terms, (the largest number that can go into 2x^2 and -26), which is 2. Taking the two out leaves us with 2(x^2 -13), which is your final answer. It looks like you were on the right track.

FOIL Property

Multiply first terms

Then Outside terms

Then inside terms

Then the last terms
