im guessing u mean this, but please next time please specify what is under the radical.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"sqrt%285x%2B6%29=x\"$ square both sides
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%28sqrt%285x%2B6%29%29%5E2=%28x%29%5E2\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"5x%2B6=x%5E2\"$ subtract
\n" ); document.write( " $\"0=x%5E2-5x-6\"$ factor
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x-3=0\"$ $\"x-2=0\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x=3\"$ or $\"x=2\"$
\n" ); document.write( "_____
\n" ); document.write( "if x=3
\n" ); document.write( " $\"sqrt%285%283%29%2B6%29=3\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"sqrt%289%29=3\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"3=3\"$ correct
\n" ); document.write( "if x=2
\n" ); document.write( " $\"sqrt%285%282%29%2B6%29=2\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"sqrt%284%29=2\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"2=2\"$ correct
\n" ); document.write( "_______________
\n" ); document.write( "im not clear if thats what u were trying to solve \n" ); document.write( "
