\n" ); document.write( " Find the number of chairs.
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Let (x^2 + 4) = no. of chairs
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "\"When he increased the size of the square by one chair. He found that he was short of 25 chairs.\"
\n" ); document.write( "x^2 + 4 = (x+1)^2 - 25
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "x^2 + 4 = x^2 + 2x + 1 - 25
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "0 = x^2 - x^2 + 2x - 24 - 4
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "0 = 2x - 28
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "2x = 28
