You can put this solution on YOUR website!
You have the difference of two squares:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%28y-5%29%5E2\"$ - $\"36q%5E2\"$

\n" ); document.write( "For any two squares $\"a%5E2\"$ and $\"b%5E2\"$ , $\"a%5E2-b%5E2\"$ = $\"%28a-b%29%28a%2Bb%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( "So for $\"%28y-5%29%5E2-36q%5E2\"$ , $\"a=y-5\"$ and $\"b=6q\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%28a-b%29%28a%2Bb%29\"$ = $\"%28%28y-5%29-6q%29%28%28y-5%29%2B6q%29\"$ \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
