You can put this solution on YOUR website!
First, move everything to one side:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"%281%2F4%29x%5E2+-+2x+%2B+17%2F4+=+0\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "I'll multiply both sides by 4 to eliminate the fractions:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"x%5E2+-+8x+%2B+17+=+0\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "From the quadratic formula, we obtain\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"x+=+%288+%2B-+sqrt%2864+-+68%29%29%2F2+=+%288+%2B-+2i%29%2F%282%29+=+4+%2B-+i\"$ \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
