Is it really as simple as 1-x-1 so that it is -x and therefore this:
-x
x(x+1)
and then:
-1
(x+1)
Wow, that was easy, thanks! I thought there was something fancy to it. I'm getting so frustrated with class that I mess us little things, I'm in calculus and I messed this up! My teacher just rants and rights stuff on the board, everyone nods, nothing is learned.
