You can put this solution on YOUR website!
your equation is:

8d^2*e^3 - 18d^3*e if i understand the problem correctly.

you can factor out a 2d^2*e to get:

2d^2*e*(4e^2-9d)

i checked this with an online calculator and got the same result.

i don't think you can do any more with it.

8d%5E2+e%5E3-18d%5E3e Factor out (2d%5E2e)
%282d%5E2e%29%284e%5E2-9d%29 If we consider (4e^2-9d) difference of two squares
%282d%5E2e%29%282e%2B3sqrt%28d%29%29%282e-3sqrt%28d%29%29
