You can put this solution on YOUR website!
2x^2 + 42x + 441 = 2601
\n" ); document.write( "2x^2 + 42x + 441 - 2601 = 0
\n" ); document.write( "2x^2 + 42x - 2160 = 0
\n" ); document.write( "simplify, divide by 2:
\n" ); document.write( "x^2 + 21x - 1080 = 0
\n" ); document.write( "You can use the quadratic formula to find x, but this will factor to:
\n" ); document.write( "(x+45)(x-24) = 0
\n" ); document.write( "Two solutions
\n" ); document.write( "x = -45
\n" ); document.write( "x = 24 \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
