You can put this solution on YOUR website!

Use the \"^\" character to indicate an exponent (just like on a calculator).
Put multiple-term numerators and denominators in parentheses. Assuming \"x2\" and \"n2\" mean $\"x%5E2\"$ and $\"n%5E2\"$ , what you posted meant:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x%5E2%2B3n%2B2%2Fn%5E2%2B6b%2B8+-+2n%2Fn%2B4\"$
\n" ); document.write( "I suspect what you intended was:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%28x%5E2%2B3n%2B2%29%2F%28n%5E2%2B6b%2B8%29+-+2n%2F%28n%2B4%29\"$
Did you really mean to have three variables (x, n and b)?? I suspect not.

Please re-post your problem making sure the problem is correct and using the \"^\" and parentheses to make the expressions unambiguous. \n" ); document.write( "
