\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"24x%5E3%2B6x%5E2-4x-1\" Start with the given expression\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"%2824x%5E3%2B6x%5E2%29%2B%28-4x-1%29\" Group like terms\r

\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"6x%5E2%284x%2B1%29-1%284x%2B1%29\" Factor out the GCF \"6x%5E2\" out of the first group. Factor out the GCF \"-1\" out of the second group\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"%286x%5E2-1%29%284x%2B1%29\" Since we have the common term \"4x%2B1\", we can combine like terms\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So \"24x%5E3%2B6x%5E2-4x-1\" factors to \"%286x%5E2-1%29%284x%2B1%29\"
