\n" ); document.write( ":\"y%5E2%2B10y%2B25-9=0\", next i subtracted 25-9, i got \"y%5E2%2B10y%2B16=0\"

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
So far, so good.
\n" ); document.write( "But now you have to factor it.
\n" ); document.write( "What two terms can you multiply to get 16?
\n" ); document.write( "1 * 16
\n" ); document.write( "2 * 8
\n" ); document.write( "That's it.
\n" ); document.write( "...
\n" ); document.write( "Now add them together
\n" ); document.write( "1 + 16 = 17
\n" ); document.write( "2 + 8 = 10
\n" ); document.write( "That's the one you're looking for: 10, as in 10y.
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "So, we can factor the equation:
\n" ); document.write( "\"y%5E2+%2B+10y+%2B+16+=+%28y+%2B+2%29%28y+%2B+8%29\"
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "We can check this to be sure.
\n" ); document.write( "\"%28y+%2B+2%29%28y+%2B+8%29+=+y%5E2+%2B+8y+%2B+2y+%2B+16\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"y%5E2+%2B+8y+%2B+2y+%2B+16+=+y%5E2+%2B+10y+%2B+16\"
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "But really, we solve these types of equations to find values of y.
\n" ); document.write( "\"%28y+%2B+2%29%28y+%2B+8%29+=+0\"
\n" ); document.write( "So,
\n" ); document.write( "y = -2 or y = -8 to make the equation = 0.
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "\"graph%28500%2C500%2C-10%2C10%2C-10%2C10%2Cx%2Ax%2B10%2Ax%2B16%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
