\r\n" );
document.write( "When they're added it's much easier than FOIL\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "(3x + 2y) + (x - 6y)\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Just remove the parentheses\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( " 3x + 2y  +  x - 6y\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Combine the like terms\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
