You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Anything in parentheses is a factor.
\n" ); document.write( "In simplified terms you have
\n" ); document.write( "\"a%2Ab%2A%28c%29+-+d%2A%28c%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "No matter what \"c\" represents, it is a factor,
\n" ); document.write( "and you can factor it out
\n" ); document.write( "\"%28c%29%2A%28a%2Ab+-+d%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "If
\n" ); document.write( "\"a+=+2\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"b=+x\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"c+=+3x+-+5\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"d+=+7\"
\n" ); document.write( "then I get
\n" ); document.write( "\"%283x-5%29%2A%282x+-+7%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
