You can put this solution on YOUR website!
I left this one alone because I wasn't sure whether you meant:
%28x%2Ba%29%28x%5E2-ax%2Fx%29 or %28x%2Ba%29%28%28x%5E2-ax%29%2Fx%29
Nobody else has taken this one on, so I'm going to show you what to do in either case:
If you meant:
%28x%2Ba%29%28x%5E2-ax%2Fx%29
%28x%2Ba%29%28x%5E2-a%2Across%28x%29%2Fcross%28x%29%29
%28x%2Ba%29%28x%5E2-a%29
x%28x%5E2%29%2Bx%28-a%29%2Ba%28x%5E2%29%2Ba%28-a%29
x%5E3-ax%2Bax%5E2-a%5E2
