\n" ); document.write( "(x-6)^2+(51-x)^2=9
\n" ); document.write( "Problem seemed easy enough but I can't see to solve for x and when I isolate an equation on one side I end up getting huge numbers that are unworkable

(x-6)^2+(51-x)^2=9
\n" ); document.write( "x^2-12x+36+2601-102x+x^2=9
\n" ); document.write( "2x^2-114x+2637-9=0
\n" ); document.write( "2x62-114x+2628=0
\n" ); document.write( "2(x^2-57x+1314)=0
\n" ); document.write( "Using the quadratic equation:\"x+=+%28-b+%2B-+sqrt%28+b%5E2-4%2Aa%2Ac+%29%29%2F%282%2Aa%29+\" we get:
\n" ); document.write( "x=(57+-sqrt[-57^2-4*1*1314])/281
\n" ); document.write( "x=(57+-sqrt[3249-5256])/2
\n" ); document.write( "x=(57+-sqrt[-2007])/2
\n" ); document.write( "x=(57+-44.8i)/2
\n" ); document.write( "x=57/2+-44.8i/2
\n" ); document.write( "x=28.5+-22.4i answer.
