asked.

Answer 1

AAAaannndd the bot gets it wrong yet again!
funny how it correctly solved it the first time around.
what a screwy robot!

Answer 2

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.
