You can put this solution on YOUR website!
(-3)/(2p^2+7p-15), p/(2p^2-11p+12), 2/(p^2+p-20)
\n" ); document.write( "-----------------
\n" ); document.write( "(2p^2+7p-15) = (2p - 3)*(p + 5)
\n" ); document.write( "(2p^2-11p+12) = (2p - 3)*(p - 4)
\n" ); document.write( "(p^2+p-20) = (p + 5)*(p - 4)
\n" ); document.write( "-----------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "LCD = (2p-3)*(p+5)*(p-4)
\n" ); document.write( "Same as your answer.
