Hi, Hope I can help,

\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Here is the problem you are trying to solve
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "\"+sqrt+%28x%29+%2A+sqrt+%28x%29+\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "We first have to know what square roots are
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "To find the square root of something, we are trying to find a number you can square (multiply twice) to get the number, \"+x%5E2+=+16+\", you are trying to find \"x\", this case it would be \"+4+\", ( or \"+-4+\", if you are using negative square roots)
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Examples: find \"+sqrt+%2825%29+\", the answer would be \"+5+\", since you can multiply 5 twice ( or square \"5\" ) to get 25, \"+5%285%29+=+25+\", or \"+5%5E2+=+25+\"
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "find \"+sqrt+%2881%29+\", the answer would be \"9+\", you can multiply \"9\" twice to get \"81\", you can also square \"9\" to get \"81\", \"+9%289%29+=+81+\", or \"+9%5E2=81+\"
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "If you multiply a square root of a number by itself( or square it), it will always equal the number in the square root sign.
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Examples: \"+sqrt+%2849%29%2Asqrt%2849%29+\" = \"+%287%29%287%29+\" = \"+49+\"
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( " \"+sqrt+%2864%29%2Asqrt%2864%29+\" = \"+8%288%29+\" = \"+64+\" ( number in the sqrt sign )
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( " \"+sqrt+%281%2F4%29+%2A+sqrt+%281%2F4%29+\" = \"+%281%2F2%29%281%2F2%29+\" = \"+1%2F4+\" (same number that is in square root sign)
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "\"+sqrt+%2833%29%2Asqrt%2833%29+\" (We don't know the exact square root, but from the examples, we know the answer would be \"+33+\", because \"+%28sqrt+%2833%29%29%5E2+=+33+\" )( The answer is the number inside the square root sign, or \"33\")
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Lets do the original question.
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( " simplify the following radical expressions the square root of x times the square root of x
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "\"+sqrt+%28x%29+%2A+sqrt+%28x%29+\", this is the same as all the examples, except that it is a letter.( It doesn't change the way we solve this problem though )
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "If the answer is the number( or letter) inside the square root sign
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "The answer would be \"+x+\", since it is inside the square root sign.
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "To find the square root of a number, you would need to find a number multiplied by itself, or squared to get that number (or letter). So since we found the square root of \"x\" ( \"+sqrt+%28x%29+\" ), and we are multiplying by the same number, we are saying \"+%28sqrt+%28x%29%29%5E2+\", which would be equal to \"x\"
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "The simplified number/variable/expression would be \"x\"
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Your answer is \"+x+\"
