You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Notice we have a common term of (y+9). If we let w=(y+9) we can rewrite the equation as
\n" ); document.write( " $\"xw+-11w\"$
\n" ); document.write( "So we can subtract like terms. For instance if we let x=15 it would look like
\n" ); document.write( " $\"15w-11w=4w\"$ However, we don't know x, so we have to leave it alone. There are x terms of w and -11 w's, so we get
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%28x-11%29%28w%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( "And if we replaced w with (y+9) we get
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%28x-11%29%28y%2B9%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Hope this makes sense. \n" ); document.write( "
