You can put this solution on YOUR website!
It is completely factored. You can't break down linear terms. If you want to check if it truly multiplies out, you can use FOIL.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "FOIL stands for First, Outer, Inner Last.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "First:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%28highlight%28x%29+%2B+12%29+%2A+%28highlight%28x%29-2%29++=+x%5E2%29\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Outer:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%28highlight%28x%29+%2B+12%29%2A+%28x+-+highlight%282%29%29=+-2x%29\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Inner:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%28x+%2B+highlight%2812%29%29+%2A%28highlight%28x%29+-+2%29+=+12x\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Last:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%28x+%2B+highlight%2812%29%29+%2A%28x+-highlight%282%29%29+=+-24\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "SIMPLIFY
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x%5E2+%2B+highlight%28-2x+%2B12x%29+-24+=+x%5E2+%2B10x+-24\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So you know it works.
