$\"x%282x-5%29=12+\"$ distribute the x
\n" ); document.write( " $\"2x%5E2-5x=12+\"$ subtract 12 from each side\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"2x%5E2-5x-12=0+\"$ factor into
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%282x%2B3%29%28x-4%29=0\"$ set each set of parenthesis equal to zero and solve for x
\n" ); document.write( "2x+3=0 subtract 3 from each side
\n" ); document.write( "2x=-3 divide both sides by 2
\n" ); document.write( "x=-3/2 next set
\n" ); document.write( "x-4=0 add 4 to each side
\n" ); document.write( "x=4 \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
