You can put this solution on YOUR website!
The left side of the equation is a perfect square:
\n" ); document.write( "\"%28x%2B5%29%5E2=+8\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Take the square root of each side:
\n" ); document.write( "\"x%2B5=+0%2B-sqrt%288%29\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Subtract 5 from each side:
\n" ); document.write( "\"x=-5%2B-sqrt%288%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"x=-5%2B2%2Asqrt%282%29\" or \"x=-5-2%2Asqrt%282%29\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "I don't think ANY of your choices are correct!!\r
