Solve the equations using the sq rt property\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"%283x-3%29%5E2=81%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "
\r\n" );
document.write( "I'm afraid you made lots of mistakes.  Here is\r\n" );
document.write( "how to solve it:\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Take square roots of both sides, remembering ± on the\r\n" );
document.write( "right side:\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\"sqrt%28%283x-3%29%5E2%29=%22%22%2B-sqrt%2881%29%29\"\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Take away both the 2 exponent and the square root on the left\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\"3x-3=%22%22\"±\"sqrt%2881%29\"\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "When you get here you should immediately replace\r\n" );
document.write( "\"sqrt%2881%29\" by \"9\".\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "You should not keep the square root when you can take\r\n" );
document.write( "the square root of what is under the radical.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Then you have\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\"3x-3=%22%22\"±\"9\"\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "So yoiu make two equations, one using the +\r\n" );
document.write( "and one using the -\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\"3x-3=9\" and \"3x-3=-9\"\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Solve the first equation and get \"x=4\"\r\n" );
document.write( "Solve the second equation and get \"x=-2\"\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
