From x^2 = 2x + 5, we get
\n" ); document.write( "x^2 - 2x - 5 = 0
\n" ); document.write( "This cannot be factored so we need to use the quadratic formula...
\n" ); document.write( "x = (2 ± sqrt(4 + 20)) / 2
\n" ); document.write( "x = (2 ± sqrt(24)) / 2
\n" ); document.write( "x = (2 ± 2sqrt(6)) / 2
\n" ); document.write( "x = 1 ± sqrt(6) \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
