Solve:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"-x%5E2%2B3x-2+=+0\"$ Factor out -1.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"-%28x%5E2-3x%2B2%29+=+0\"$ Divide both sides by -1.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x%5E2-3x%2B2+=+0\"$ Factor.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%28x-1%29%28x-2%29+=+0\"$ Apply the zero products principle.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x-1+=+0\"$ and/or $\"x-2+=+0\"$
\n" ); document.write( "If $\"x-1+=+0\"$ then $\"x+=+1\"$
\n" ); document.write( "If $\"x-2+=+0\"$ then $\"x+=+2\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The roots are:
\n" ); document.write( "x = 1
\n" ); document.write( "x = 2 \n" ); document.write( "
