    - (x + 6) (x - 7)

    Step-by-step explanation:

    The expression that we have can also be expressed in the following way:

    - (x ^ 2 - x - 42)

    Now to factorize we must find two numbers that multiplied by - 42 and the sum of these numbers by - 1.

    these numbers are: - 7 and 6

    -7 * 6 = - 42

    -7 + 6 = - 1

    Thus:

    - (x + 6) (x - 7)
