You can put this solution on YOUR website!
The key to this is the fact that
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+2x+-+1+=+-%28+1+-+2x+%29+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "and, since $\"+a%2F%28-b%29+=+-%28a%2Fb%29+\"$ ,
\n" ); document.write( "you can rewrite this as:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+%28x%5E2-49%29+%2F+%28+2x+-+1%29+-+%28x%5E2-14x%2B49%29+%2F+%282x+-+1%29+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Factoring the polynomials:
\n" ); document.write( "

\n" ); document.write( " $\"+%28%28+x+-+7+%29+%2F+%28+2x+-+1+%29%29+%2A+%28+x+%2B+7+-%28+x+-+7+%29+%29+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+%28%28+x+-+7+%29+%2F+%28+2x+-+1+%29%29+%2A+%28+x+%2B+7+-+x+%2B+7+%29+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+14%2A%28+x+-+7+%29+%2F+%28+2x+-+1+%29+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "You could take it further, too
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+%28+14x+-+98+%29+%2F+%28+2x+-+1+%29+=+7++-+91%2F%28+2x+-+1+%29+\"$ \n" ); document.write( "
