\"-uz%2B2t%2Btu-2z\" Start with the given expression\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"-uz%2Btu-2z%2B2t\" Rearrange the terms.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"%28-uz%2Btu%29%2B%28-2z%2B2t%29\" Group the terms\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"u%28-z%2Bt%29%2B2%28-z%2Bt%29\" Factor out the GCF \"u\" out of the first group. Factor out the GCF \"2\" out of the second group\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"%28u%2B2%29%28-z%2Bt%29\" Since we have the common term \"-z%2Bt\", we can combine like terms\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"%28u%2B2%29%28t-z%29\" Rearrange the terms.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So \"-uz%2B2t%2Btu-2z\" factors to \"%28u%2B2%29%28t-z%29\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "In other words, \"-uz%2B2t%2Btu-2z=%28u%2B2%29%28t-z%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
