Let $\"u=x%5E%281%2F3%29\"$ , $\"u%5E2=x%5E%282%2F3%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"u%5E2-u-12=0\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%28u-4%29%28u%2B3%29=0\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Two solutions:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"u-4=0\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"u=4\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x%5E%281%2F3%29=4\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"highlight%28x=64%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( " $\"u%2B3=0\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"u=-3\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x%5E%281%2F3%29=-3\"$
