What is the value of ( (x+3)(x+7)-(x+4)(x+6) )?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: (-3)

The direct answer is C: -3. Expand each product carefully. First, \\(x+3\\)(x+7)=x^2+7x+3x+21=x^2+10x+21. Second, \\(x+4\\)(x+6)=x^2+6x+4x+24=x^2+10x+24. Now subtract the complete second expression: \\(x^2+10x+21\\)-(x^2+10x+24). Like terms cancel: x²-x²=0 and 10x-10x=0. The constants give 21-24=-3. Therefore option C is correct. Option A, 3, has the sign reversed; it would come from subtracting the first constant from the second. Option B, x, is wrong because the x terms are equal and cancel. Option C correctly keeps the order of subtraction and gives -3. Option D, 0, notices cancellation of variable terms but forgets that the constants are different. A useful check is to take x = 0: the expression becomes 3×7 - 4×6 = 21 - 24 = -3, confirming that the result does not depend on x. Memory cue: expand, cancel like terms, then preserve the subtraction order.
