$\"+%282x%5E2-5%29%2F3=-4+\"$ multiply each side by 3
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+2x%5E2-5+=+-12+\"$ add 5 to each side\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"+2x%5E2=-7\"$ divide each side by 2
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x%5E2=-3.5\"$ take square root of each side
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x=sqrt%28-3.5%29\"$ if you learned imaginary numbers already then simplified answer would be
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x=i%2Asqrt%283.5%29\"$ \n" ); document.write( "
