\"2x%5E4+=+16x\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"2x%5E4+-+16x+=+0\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"2x%2A%28x%5E3+-+8%29+=+0\"
\n" ); document.write( "This is just like saying \"a%2Ab+=+0\"
\n" ); document.write( "Either \"a\", \"b\", or both have to be
\n" ); document.write( "\"0\" in order for this to be true, so either
\n" ); document.write( "\"2x+=+0\" and
\n" ); document.write( "\"x+=+0\"
\n" ); document.write( "or
\n" ); document.write( "\"x%5E3+-+8+=+0\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"x%5E3+=+8\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"x+=+2\"
\n" ); document.write( "The answer is \"x+=+0\" and \"x+=+2\"
