\"%28x%29%28x%2B1%29+=+%28x%2B1%29%5E2+-+6\"
\n" ); document.write( "step 1 -expand both sides to get
\n" ); document.write( "\"x%5E2+%2B+x+=+x%5E2+%2B+2x+%2B+1+-+6\"
\n" ); document.write( "step 2 - combine like terms on the right to get
\n" ); document.write( "\"x%5E2+%2B+x+=+x%5E2+%2B+2x+-+5\"
\n" ); document.write( "step 3 - set = 0 as
\n" ); document.write( "\"0+=+x-5\"
\n" ); document.write( "step 4 - solve for x to get
\n" ); document.write( " \"x+=+5\"
\n" ); document.write( "----
\n" ); document.write( "we get
\n" ); document.write( "x = 5
\n" ); document.write( "x + 1 = 6
\n" ); document.write( "
