Solve for x:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%28x-11%29%28x-11%29+=+20\"$ Rewrite as:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%28x-11%29%5E2+=+20\"$ Take the square root of both sides.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x-11+=+sqrt%2820%29\"$ or $\"x-11+=+-sqrt%2820%29\"$ Add 11 to both sides of each solution.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x+=+11%2B2sqrt%285%29\"$ or $\"x+=+11-2sqrt%285%29\"$ \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
