You can put this solution on YOUR website!
The denominators are a-5 and a+5\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Since they have nothing in common (except the factor of 1), this means that the LCM of a-5 and a+5 is \"%28a-5%29%28a%2B5%29\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So the LCD is \"%28a-5%29%28a%2B5%29\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Optionally, you can FOIL that out, but I don't think it's necessary.\r
