document.write( "Question 1121125: Hello, I need help with factoring binomials. I was given problems such as x^7 + y^7 and w^12 - z^12, but I don't know how to solve these. I know how to solve simpler problems such as x^3 - 125, but when I get problems with higher exponents I get confused. Can someone explain the process of solving them? Thank you in advance to anyone who is willing to help. \n" ); document.write( "
