(-1(7 + x) + x(7 + x)) = (x + -3)(x + 1)
((7 * -1 + x * -1) + x(7 + x)) = (x + -3)(x + 1)
((-7 + -1x) + x(7 + x)) = (x + -3)(x + 1)
(-7 + -1x + (7 * x + x * x)) = (x + -3)(x + 1)
(-7 + -1x + (7x + x2)) = (x + -3)(x + 1)

Combine like terms: -1x + 7x = 6x
(-7 + 6x + x2) = (x + -3)(x + 1)

Reorder the terms:
-7 + 6x + x2 = (-3 + x)(x + 1)

Reorder the terms:
-7 + 6x + x2 = (-3 + x)(1 + x)

Multiply (-3 + x) * (1 + x)
-7 + 6x + x2 = (-3(1 + x) + x(1 + x))
-7 + 6x + x2 = ((1 * -3 + x * -3) + x(1 + x))
-7 + 6x + x2 = ((-3 + -3x) + x(1 + x))
-7 + 6x + x2 = (-3 + -3x + (1 * x + x * x))
-7 + 6x + x2 = (-3 + -3x + (1x + x2))

Combine like terms: -3x + 1x = -2x
-7 + 6x + x2 = (-3 + -2x + x2)
