The equation in the image can be rewritten using the algebraic identity for a perfect cube: (a - b)³ = a³ - 3a²b + 3ab² - b³. Solving for x gives a single real root: x = 5. Substituting this back into the sentence means they are unplugging the "P(5)", or PS5.

That's where it's stored not where it comes from.
