(square root of x) - 3 = x-15
\n" ); document.write( " $\"sqrt%28x%29+-+3+=+x-15\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"sqrt%28x%29+=+x-12\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Square both sides
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x+=+x%5E2+-+24x+%2B+144\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x%5E2+-+25x+%2B+144+=+0\"$
\n" ); document.write( "(x-9)*(x-16) = 0
\n" ); document.write( "x = 9
\n" ); document.write( "x = 16\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
