You can put this solution on YOUR website!
(x+7)(x-1) = (x+1)(x+1)
\n" ); document.write( "Use the FOIL method on both sides
\n" ); document.write( "(x)(x)+(x)(-1)+(7)(x)+(7)(-1) = (x)(x)+(x)(1)+(1)(x)+(1)(1)
\n" ); document.write( "x^2+(-1x)+7x+(-7) = x^2+1x+1x+1
\n" ); document.write( "x^2+6x-7 = x^2+2x+1\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Put all the x values on one side of the equation:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "x^2-x^2 + 6x-2x - 7+7 = x^2-x^2 + 2x-2x + 1+7
\n" ); document.write( "4x=8
\n" ); document.write( "4x/4=8/4
\n" ); document.write( "x=2
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
