$\"x%5E2++%2B+2x+-+24+=+x%5E2%2B2x%2B1-25=%28x%2B1%29%5E2-25\"$
\n" ); document.write( "then $\"%28x%2B1%29%5E5-25=0\"$
\n" ); document.write( "then $\"%28x%2B1%29%5E2=25\"$
\n" ); document.write( "then $\"x%2B1=5\"$ or $\"x%2B1=-5\"$
\n" ); document.write( "then $\"x=4\"$ or $\"x=-6\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Answer: $\"x=4\"$ , $\"x=-6\"$ \n" ); document.write( "
