First note that 4 is the common factor of the two terms. So we need to factor it out.
\n" ); document.write( "\"16-4x%5E2\"
\n" ); document.write( "=\"4%284-x%5E2%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "=\"4%282%5E2-x%5E2%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "=\"4%282%2Bx%29%282-x%29\" use the formula \"a%5E2-b%5E2=%28a%2Bb%29%28a-b%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
