\"x%5E2+%2B+22x+%2B+112+=+0\"
\n" ); document.write( "or \"%28x%5E2+%2B+2%2Ax%2A11+%2B+11%5E2%29+%2B+112+-+11%5E2+=+0\"
\n" ); document.write( "or \"%28x+%2B+11%29%5E2+%2B+112+-+121+=+0\"
\n" ); document.write( "or \"%28x+%2B+11%29%5E2+-+9+=+0\"
\n" ); document.write( "or \"%28x+%2B+11%29%5E2+=+3%5E2+=+0\"
\n" ); document.write( "or \"%28x%2B11%29+=+sqrt%283%5E2%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "Either (x+11) = 3 or (x+11) = -3
\n" ); document.write( "Accordingly x = -8 or x = -14
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
