The answer is (x-3)(x-25).
How the f**k.
To whom it may concern: I got it, even though my shitty textbook is encrypted with AES-256. Could someone verify the terminology I used in my answer below?
x(x-3) - 25(x-3) share the same coefficient, namely (x-3), so:
x(x-3) - 25(x-3) = (x-25)(x-3)
I think I would say that x (x-3) and -25 (x-3) share a common FACTOR '(x-3)'
so (x - 25) (x-3) using distributive property in reverse...
