Evaluate
1−(1−x)
If a negative sign or a subtraction symbol appears outside parentheses, remove the parentheses and change the sign of every term within the parentheses
1−1+x
Since two opposites add up to 0,remove them form the expression
x
x(1+1−x)
Solution
x(2−x)

Find the roots
x1=0,x2=2
Evaluate
1−(1−x)(1−x)
To find the roots of the expression,set the expression equal to 0
1−(1−x)(1−x)=0
Multiply the terms
1−(1−x)2=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
−(1−x)2=0−1
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
−(1−x)2=−1
Change the signs on both sides of the equation
(1−x)2=1
Take the root of both sides of the equation and remember to use both positive and negative roots
1−x=±1
Simplify the expression
1−x=±1
