Answer:

(x + 1)(x - 7) is the odd one.

Step-by-step explanation:

1) sum= 8

Product = 7

Factors = 1 , 7    {1*7 = 7  & 1+7 = 8}

x² + 8x + 7 = x² + x + 7x + 7

                 = x(x +  1) + 7(x + 1)

                 =(x +1 )(x + 7)

2) x² - 8x + 7 = x² -x -7x + (-1)*(-7)

                      = x(x - 1) - 7(x - 1)

                     =(x - 1)( x - 7)

3)Sum = 6

Product = -7

Factors = (-1) , 7   { -1 + 7 = 6   & (-1)*7 = -7}

x² + 6x - 7 = x² - x + 7x - 7

                   = x(x - 1) + 7(x - 1)

                   = (x  - 1)(x + 7)

Answer:

(x+1)(x-7) is the odd one out
