Proof:
We can rewrite the expression as follows:
(x-5)(x+8) - (x+4)(x-1)
= (x² + 3x - 40) - (x² + 3x - 4)
= -37
Since the expression does not contain the variable x, its value does not depend on the value of x. Therefore, the expression is equal to -37 regardless of the value of x.
prove that the value of the expression does not depend on the value of x. (x-5)(x+8)-(x+4)(x-1)
