Simplify:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%282x%5E5%29%5E3%28-3x%5E4%29%5E3\"$ Multiply the \"inside\" exponents by the \"outside\" exponents. Remember that the integers have an exponent of 1.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%28%282%5E3%29%28x%5E15%29%29%28%28-3%5E3%29%28x%5E12%29%29\"$ Simplify.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%288x%5E15%29%28-27x%5E12%29\"$ Two more steps. Multiply the two integers,
\n" ); document.write( " $\"-216%28x%5E15%29%28x%5E12%29\"$ then add the exponents of the variable, x.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"-216x27\"$ \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
