Let the number be x
\n" ); document.write( "so half the number is (x/2)\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "And so $\"+x%5E2+-+%28x%2F2%29%5E2+=+108+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+x%5E2+-+x%5E2%2F4+=+108+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+%283x%5E2%29%2F4+=+108+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+3x%5E2+=+432+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+x%5E2+=+144+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+x+=+sqrt%28144%29+\"$ or $\"+x+=+-+sqrt%28144%29+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "x = 12 or x = -12\r
