You can put this solution on YOUR website!
first distribute the negative in front of the parenthesis as follows:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"+9c%5E3+%2B+7c+-+3c%5E3+%2B+12+-+c+\" then simplify common terms and you get:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"+6c%5E3%2B6c%2B12\" then simplify and you get \"+6%2A%28c%5E3%2Bc%2B2%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
