Does anyone know a more elegant way to write the problem below?

Thanks,
Justin

<problem>
<startouttext />Rationalize the denominator and simplify:<p></p><br></br>
Use sqrtm for <m display = jsmath>$\sqrt{m}</m>.<p></p>
<table>

<tr>
    <td><m display="jsMath">\, \, \, \, $m - 4$</m></td> <td></td>
<td><endouttext />
<formularesponse samples="m,sqrtm@-3,-3:3,3#5" answer="(m - 4)(sqrtm + 4)"
id="11">

    <textline readonly="no" size="20" />

</formularesponse><startouttext /></td>

<tr>
    <td><hr width="60"></hr></td> <td><m display="jsMath">$\mbox{ } = \mbox{
