Do you mean:
\n" ); document.write( "\"x%5E4+-9x%5E2+-+112+=+0\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "You need to factor this by finding two numbers whose product is 112 and whose difference is 9. If you can't think of the combination, start at the beginning with 1:\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "1*112
\n" ); document.write( "2* 56
\n" ); document.write( "3 does not go into 112
\n" ); document.write( "4* 28
\n" ); document.write( "7* 16 \r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "That's it! There is the difference of 9!\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"x%5E4+-+9x%5E2+-112+=+0\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+%28x%5E2+-+16%29%28x%5E2%2B7%29=+0\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"x%5E2-16+=+0+\" or \"x%5E2%2B7+=+0\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"x%5E2=16\" or \"x%5E2=+-7\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"x=+4\" \"x=-4\"
\n" ); document.write( "There are no real numbers that you can square to get a negative number, so \"x%5E2=-7\" has no real solutions. If you wanted complex solutions also, then the solutions of the last part would be \"x=+0%2B-i+%2Asqrt%287%29+\"\r
