\n" ); document.write( "x(x+1) = 272
\n" ); document.write( "x^2+x-272 = 0
\n" ); document.write( "(x-16)(x+17) = 0
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "If x = 16
\n" ); document.write( "Then x+1 = 17
\n" ); document.write( "----
\n" ); document.write( "If x = -17
\n" ); document.write( "The x+1 = -16
