How do I factor this by showing steps taken \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "1-xy-20x^2 y^2
\n" ); document.write( "Don't put spaces between the variables.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "1-xy-20x^2y^2
\n" ); document.write( "You find a pair of factors of 20 that differ by 1.
\n" ); document.write( "It's 4 & 5
\n" ); document.write( "The xy term is negative --> the 5 is negative.
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "1 - xy - 20x^2y^2 = (1 + 4xy)*(1 - 5xy)
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
