\"1%2F%28x%2B1%29+=+x-4\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"1+=+%28x-4%29%28x%2B1%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"1+=+x%5E2+-+3x+-+4\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"x%5E2+-+3x+-+5+=+0\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "This does not factorise easily, so use the quadratic formula. you will have been shown how to do this, since this question uses it.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Answer is \"x+=+%283+%2B-+sqrt%2829%29%29%2F2\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Work out the positive version, \"x+=+%283+%2B+sqrt%2829%29%29%2F2\", and then write the integer below and above this number, for example if the number was 4.86123, then write 4 and 5.\r
