You can put this solution on YOUR website!
10= sqrt 8^2+x^2
\n" ); document.write( "First, we should square both sides to get rid of the square root sign. It should end up like this:
\n" ); document.write( "10^2=8^2+x^2, and then solve the square roots:
\n" ); document.write( "100=64+x^2
\n" ); document.write( "Subtract 64 from both sides, so it ends up like this:
\n" ); document.write( "36=x^2
\n" ); document.write( "Then, find the square root of both sides. It should end up with this:
\n" ); document.write( "x=6.
