THERE IS NOTHING MYSTIC ABOUT LOTS OF NUMBERS WHEN ASKED TO ADD. JUST ADD LIKE NUMBERS AS USUAL THUS:
\n" ); document.write( "5B^3-7B^3=-2B^3 &
\n" ); document.write( "-8B+5B=-3B &
\n" ); document.write( "2B^2+3B^2=5B^2 THUS WE NOW COMBINE ALL THESE SUMS THUS:
\n" ); document.write( "-2B^3+5B^2-3B NOW FACTOR OUT ANY COMMON TERM (LIKE B)
\n" ); document.write( "B(-2B^2+5B-3) \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
