If subtraction is written backwards, factor out a negative.
When you factor out the negative sign, you write the subtraction switched around.

Beware of “backwards” subtraction.


C(x – y) + (y – x) d(3 – x) – f(x – 3)

C(x – y) – (x – y): not factored, still subtraction d(3 – x) + f(3 – x)

(x – y)(C – 1) (3 – x)(d + f)
