\n" );
document.write( "Hi,
\n" );
document.write( "The only tht would represent a complete factoring would be:
\n" );
document.write( "3(x-5)(x-3)\r
\n" );
document.write( "\n" );
document.write( "As can be demonstrated: the others can be factured further
\n" );
document.write( "for ex
\n" );
document.write( "(3x-5)(5x-15) completly factored would be 5(3x-5)(x-3) \n" );
document.write( "

\n" );
