The expression can be simplified by factoring out the common term from each part of the expression. Notice that both parts of the expression contain a $n - y$ term. Factoring $n - y$ out of the expression, we get $n - y$ as the simplified form, making option C correct.

Factor the Expression x(n−y)+(x−1)(y−n)x ( n - y ) + ( x - 1 ) ( y - n )x(n−y)+(x−1)(y−n)

Factor the Expression $x ( n - y ) + ( x - 1 ) ( y - n )$
