You can put this solution on YOUR website!
(p+q)^2-2(p+q)-15
\n" ); document.write( "Think of (p+q) as x
\n" ); document.write( "x^2-2x-15
\n" ); document.write( "(x-5)(x+3)
\n" ); document.write( "(p+q-5)(p+q+3)\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "(p+q)^2-2(p+q)-15
\n" ); document.write( "You could work it out to
\n" ); document.write( "p^2+2pq-2p+q^2-2q-15
\n" ); document.write( "But either way you get
\n" ); document.write( "(p+q-5)(p+q+3)\r
