How about:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"v%5E4-1296+=+%28v%5E2%29%5E2-%286%5E2%29%5E2\"$ Now factor the difference of two squares:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%28v%5E2%29%5E2-%286%5E2%29%5E2+=+%28v%5E2-6%5E2%29%28v%5E2%2B6%5E2%29\"$ Now factor the difference of squares again:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"v%5E2-6%5E2+=+%28v-6%29%28v%2B6%29\"$ Now put it all together to get:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"v%5E4-1296+=+%28v-6%29%28v%2B6%29%28v%5E2%2B6%5E2%29\"$ or $\"%28v-6%29%28v%2B6%29%28v%5E2%2B36%29\"$ \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
