$\"%28%28j+%2B+7%29+%2F+b%29+%2B+%28%28j+-+9%29+%2F+b%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( "= $\"%28%28j+%2B+7%29+%2B+%28j+-+9%29%29%2Fb\"$ ,since they have the same denominator b
\n" ); document.write( "= $\"%282j-2%29%2Fb\"$ ,since j + j = 2j and 7 - 9 = -2
\n" ); document.write( "= $\"2%28j-1%29%2Fb\"$ ,factor 2 out \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
