$\"+%285x%5E2-3x%2B2%29%2B%28-3x%5E2-5x-8%29-%28x%5E2%2B3x-10%29+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "First thing is to distribute the understood +1 and -1 that sit in front of the parentesis.
\n" ); document.write( "When doing this with +1, you can just drop the parenthesis.
\n" ); document.write( "But with the -1 it changes the signs of everything within the parenthesis.
\n" ); document.write( "It will look like this:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+5x%5E2-3x%2B2-3x%5E2-5x-8-1x%5E2-3x%2B10+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Combine like terms, Start with the x^2
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+x%5E2-3x%2B2-5x-8-3x%2B10+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "next the x quantities
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+x%5E2-11x%2B2-8%2B10+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "and finally the constants
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+x%5E2-11x%2B4+\"$ DONE!
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
