\n" ); document.write( "

That's NOT an equation but a polynomial instead, as was rightly stated the 1st time.
\n" );
document.write( "
\n" );
document.write( " --------- Substituting 3x + x for 4x after using the AC/ac method of factoring
\n" );
document.write( "3x(x + 1) + 1(x + 1) --- Grouping 1st and last 2 polynomials, and then factoring out their GCFs
\n" );
document.write( "
\n" );
document.write( "That's ALL!! \n" );
document.write( "

\n" );
