Your answer is INCORRECT!
\n" );
document.write( "You seem to have factored the numerator-expression, but NOT the denominator-expression. 
\n" );
document.write( "I'd assume that 3(x = 5)(x - 3) is actually 3(x + 5)(x - 3). In that case, the numerator-expression was correctly factored. 
\n" );
document.write( "Now, you just need to factor the denominator and cancel like-factors in the numerator and denominator, as follows:
\n" );
document.write( " \n" );
document.write( "

\n" );
