Okay we have
\n" ); document.write( "(x-2)^2 + x^2 = (x+2)^2
\n" ); document.write( "x^2 - 4x + 4 + x^2 = x^2 + 4x + 4
\n" ); document.write( "and yes
\n" ); document.write( "x^2 - 8x = 0
\n" ); document.write( "x(x - 8) = 0
\n" ); document.write( "and x = 0 or x = 8 \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
