Original equation: $\"%28x%5E2+%2B+x+%2B+1%29%28x+-1%29\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Step 1: Distribute every term on the left side to everything on the right side like so:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"%28x%5E2+%2B+x+%2B+1%29%28x+-1%29\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "You must multiply $\"x%5E2%29\"$ to the $\"x\"$ and to the $\"-1\"$ .\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Then, you move on to the $\"x\"$ and multiply it with the $\"x\"$ from the other equation and to the $\"-1\"$ in the other equation as well.
\n" ); document.write( "Lastly, distribute the $\"1\"$ to the $\"x\"$ in the other equation and the $\"-1\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "After distributing you get: $\"x%5E3+-+x%5E2+%2B+x%5E2+-+x+%2B+x+-+1\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Step 2: Combine like terms\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"x%5E3+-+x%5E2+%2B+x%5E2+-+x+%2B+x+-+1\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The $\"-+x%5E2+%2B+x%5E2\"$ cancel out and so does the $\"-+x+%2B+x\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Your answer should look like this: $\"x%5E3+-+1\"$
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
