You can put this solution on YOUR website!
$\"3%2Ax%5E2=48\"$
\n" ); document.write( "If this just said $\"3%2Ax=48\"$ , you would divide by 3 on both sides to solve for x. You're going do the same here: when you divide by 3 on both sides, you get $\"x%5E2=16\"$ .
\n" ); document.write( "To get rid of squaring, you take the square root on both sides. Don't forget that this means the answer could be positive or negative!
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x=+%2B-+sqrt%2816%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x=+%2B-+4\"$
\n" ); document.write( "The roots are the answers: x=4 and x=-4 \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
