Try pairing terms:
\n" ); document.write( "18\"a%5E3\"– 24\"a%5E2\"b + 15a\"b%5E2\"– 20\"b%5E3\" = 6\"a%5E2\"(3a - 4b) + 5\"b%5E2\"(3a - 4b)
\n" ); document.write( "Now, factor out the (3a - 4b) as a common binomial factor:
\n" ); document.write( "(3a - 4b)(6\"a%5E2\" + 5\"b%5E2\")
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
