    For those that struggled like me…

    Going from a-z, write out the last three multiplicands.

        For those of you who still struggled like me, a multiplicand in this case refers to one of the (n-x) terms.

          Well, that’s what was apparently meant, but in fact the correct terminology here is factors. There’s only multiplicands (and multipliers) with an explicit multiplication sign. axb - multiplicand a and multiplier b, ab - Term with factors a and b, and a is the coefficient of this Term.

    Even if the x-x term didn’t exist, the equation is already simplified (fully factored) so there is nothing to do anyway.
