You can put this solution on YOUR website!
The form is (a+b)(a-b) = a^2 - b^2
\n" ); document.write( "-------
\n" ); document.write( "(sq.root of 8 + 5 times sq. root of 12)(sq of 8 - 5 times sq of 12)
\n" ); document.write( "------------
\n" ); document.write( "Your Problem:
\n" ); document.write( "= (sqrt(8))^2 - 5^2
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "= 8 - 25
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "= -17
