$\"%28x+%2B+5%29%5E2+=+3\"$
\n" ); document.write( "take the square root of both sides
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x+%2B+5+=+0+%2Bsqrt%283%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( "and
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x+%2B+5+=+0+-sqrt%283%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( "so,
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x+=+-5+%2B+sqrt%283%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( "and
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x+=+-5+-+sqrt%283%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( "check these answers by substituting them
\n" ); document.write( "back into the original equation \n" ); document.write( "
