$\"sqrt%282x-3%29%2Bx=3\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Subtract x from both sides and rewrite this equation as
\n" ); document.write( " $\"sqrt%282x-3%29=3-x\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "square both sides:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%28sqrt%282x-3%29%29%5E2=%283-x%29%5E2\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"2x-3=9-6x%2Bx%5E2\"$
\n" ); document.write( "subtract 2x and add 3 to both sides to get
\n" ); document.write( " $\"0=x%5E2-8x%2B12\"$
