\"3%282x-1%29%282x%2B1%29-2x\" Start with the given expression\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"3%284x%5E2-1%29-2x\" FOIL \"%282x-1%29%282x%2B1%29\" to get \"%282x-1%29%282x%2B1%29=4x%5E2%2B2x-2x-1=4x%5E2-1\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"12x%5E2-3-2x\" Distribute\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"12x%5E2-2x-3\" Rearrange the terms.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So \"3%282x-1%29%282x%2B1%29-2x\" simplifies to \"12x%5E2-2x-3\"
