You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Practice doing it this way, and you'll catch on:
\n" ); document.write( "Suppose I have
\n" ); document.write( " $\"13%2A41+=+533\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Now I'll separate the number into 2 factors, let's say
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%289+%2B+4%29%2825+%2B+16%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( "I believe FOIL stands for first-outer-inner-last
\n" ); document.write( "Following this, I get
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%289+%2B+4%29%2825+%2B+16%29+=+9%2A25+%2B+9%2A16+%2B+4%2A25+%2B+4%2A16\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%289+%2B+4%29%2825+%2B+16%29+=+225+%2B+144+%2B+100+%2B+64\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%289+%2B+4%29%2825+%2B+16%29+=+533\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Try a simpler one, like
\n" ); document.write( " $\"5%2A11+=+55\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"5%2A11+=+%283+%2B+2%29%287+%2B+4%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%283+%2B+2%29%287+%2B+4%29+=+3%2A7+%2B+3%2A4+%2B+2%2A7+%2B+2%2A4\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%283+%2B+2%29%287+%2B+4%29+=+21+%2B+12+%2B+14+%2B+8\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%283+%2B+2%29%287+%2B+4%29+=+55\"$
\n" ); document.write( "After practice this way, you can put in x's and
\n" ); document.write( "y's anywhere you like, and you'll get correct
\n" ); document.write( "answers \n" ); document.write( "
