1. 2p-6q+pq-3q^2
\n" ); document.write( "Factor the first two and then the last two terms separately.
\n" ); document.write( "=2(p-3q)+q(p-3q)
\n" ); document.write( "Factor out the common factor:
\n" ); document.write( "=(p-3q)(2+q)
\n" ); document.write( "---------------
\n" ); document.write( "2. m^4-9n^4
\n" ); document.write( "=(m^2+3n^2)(m+3n)(m-3n)
\n" ); document.write( "-------------
