$\"%28x%5E2-6x%2B5%29%2F%282x%5E2%2B5x-7%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( "The expression can be factored as:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%28x-5%29%28x-1%29%2F%282x%2B7%29%28x-1%29\"$ This can checked by FOIL multiplication.
\n" ); document.write( "The factor $\"x-1\"$ cancels and we are left with:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%28x-5%29%2F%282x%2B7%29\"$ \n" ); document.write( "
