example:
\n" ); document.write( "y = (x + 3)^2 - 1
\n" ); document.write( "y = (x + 3)(x + 3) -1
\n" ); document.write( "y = x^2 + 3x + 3x + 9 -1
\n" ); document.write( "y = x^2 + 6x + 8
\n" ); document.write( "y - x^2 - 6x = 8
\n" ); document.write( "-1(y - x^2 - 6x) = -1(8)
\n" ); document.write( "x^2 + 6x - y = -8 \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
