You can put this solution on YOUR website!
9(y-1)^2-25 = 9(y^2 - 2y + 1) - 25 = 9y^2 - 18y -16
\n" ); document.write( "9y^2 - 18y -16 = (3y -8)(3y+2)
\n" ); document.write( "F First terms
\n" ); document.write( "O Outside terms 6y
\n" ); document.write( "I Inside terms -24y
\n" ); document.write( "L Last terms
