here is the problem:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"8x3+-+12x2+%2B+6x+-+9\"$
\n" ); document.write( "step 1 - put (_) around first and then second pair of terms as follows:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%288x%5E3+-+12x%5E2%29+%2B+%286x+-+9%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( "step 2 - find the GCF of the first and second (_)
\n" ); document.write( " $\"4x%5E2%282x-3%29+%2B+3%282x-3%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( "step 3- find the GCF of the entire expression to get
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%282x-3%29%284x%5E2%2B3%29\"$ \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
