You can put this solution on YOUR website!
(x-4) * (x+2)
\n" ); document.write( "x-4 = 0
\n" ); document.write( "solve for x to get x = 4
\n" ); document.write( "s+2 = 0
\n" ); document.write( "solve for x to get x = -2\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "(x-4) * (x+2) = x^2 + 2x - 4x - 8
\n" ); document.write( "combine like terms to get (x-4) * (x+2) = x^2 - 2x - 8.
\n" ); document.write( "since that's your original equation, the factors look good.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "your solutions are x = 4 or x = -2.\r
