\r\n" );
document.write( "3∛(2a)-6∛(2a)\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Those are LIKE TERMS:\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "That's just like \r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "3x-6x are LIKE terms.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "It's just that instead of a simple x you have a complicated  ∛(2a)\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "But that doesn't make the problem any more complicated.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Just as \r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "the answer to 3x-6x is -3x, because they are LIKE TERMS, and\r\n" );
document.write( "you just combine coefficients 3-6 and get -3, and then put x after that,\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "the answer to 3∛(2a)-6∛(2a) is -3∛(2a), because they are LIKE TERMS, and\r\n" );
document.write( "you just combine coefficients 3-6 and get -3, and then put ∛(2a) after that.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Therefore 3∛(2a)-6∛(2a) is just -3∛(2a)\r\n" );
