A. because both variables (y and x) cancel each other out because they are equal. The answer to A is 0=6, which is clearly not true. All other choices have a solution that is possible, because at least 1 of the variables doesn't cancel itself out.

a4 - 3a2 - 1

step-by-step explanation:

step   1   :

equation at the end of step   1   :

  ((a4) -   3a2) -   1

step   2   :

trying to factor by splitting the middle term

2.1     factoring   a4-3a2-1  

the first term is,   a4   its coefficient is   1 .

the middle term is,   -3a2   its coefficient is   -3 .

the last term, "the constant", is   -1
