You can put this solution on YOUR website!
I'll assume you meant:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"6sqrt%28x-1%29%2B1=x\"$
\n" ); document.write( "subtract 1 from both sides:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"6sqrt%28x-1%29=x-1\"$
\n" ); document.write( "divide both sides by 6:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"sqrt%28x-1%29=+%28x-1%29%2F6\"$
\n" ); document.write( "square both sides:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x-1=+%28x-1%29%5E2%2F6%5E2\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x-1=+%28x%5E2-2x%2B1%29%2F36\"$
\n" ); document.write( "cross multiply:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"36x-36=+x%5E2-2x%2B1\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"-36=+x%5E2-38x%2B1\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"0=+x%5E2-38x%2B37\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"0=+%28x-1%29%28x-37%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( "x = {1, 37}
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
