This is a quadratic equation\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Here is how you solve it
\n" ); document.write( "1) Add 30 to both sides
\n" ); document.write( "2) Add the square of 1/2 of the coeficcient of x to both sides
\n" ); document.write( "3) Make the left side the square of a bionomial
\n" ); document.write( "4) Take the square root of each side
\n" ); document.write( "5) Solve\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Work
\n" ); document.write( "1) $\"p%5E2%2B13p-30%2B30=0%2B30\"$
\n" ); document.write( "1a) $\"p%5E2%2B13p=30\"$
\n" ); document.write( "2) $\"p%5E2%2B13p%2B76.25=106.25\"$
\n" ); document.write( "3) $\"%28p%2B7.5%29%5E2=106.25\"$
\n" ); document.write( "4) $\"p%2B7.5=10.30\"$
\n" ); document.write( "5) $\"p=2.8\"$ \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
