You can put this solution on YOUR website!
How would you factor:
\n" ); document.write( "(X-3)^2 x (2x+1)^3 + (x-3)^3 x (2x+1)^2
\n" ); document.write( "---------
\n" ); document.write( "Don't use x for multiply, it's confusing.
\n" ); document.write( "Use * (Shift 8)
\n" ); document.write( "(X-3)^2*(2x+1)^3 + (x-3)^3*(2x+1)^2
\n" ); document.write( "Factor out common terms, (x-3) and (2x+1)
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "= $\"%28x-3%29%5E2%2A%282x%2B1%29%5E2%2A%28%282x%2B1%29+%2B+%28x-3%29%2A%282x%2B1%29%5E2%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( "= $\"%28x-3%29%5E2%2A%282x%2B1%29%5E2%2A%28%282x%2B1%29+%2B+%28x-3%29%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( "= $\"%28x-3%29%5E2%2A%282x%2B1%29%5E2%2A%283x+-+2%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
