I can see that x and y appear in each term.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "I can pull out 2 because it can evenly fit into itself, 14 and -18.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "I also can pull out x because it can evenly fit into itself, x^3 and x^2.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "I will also pull out a y because it can evenly fit into itself.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "We now divide part by part.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "2/2 = 1\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "14/2 = 7\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "-18/2 = -9\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "x^3/x = x^2\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "x^2/x = x\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "x/x = 1\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "y/y = 1\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Final answer: 2xy(x^2 + 7x - 9)\r
