document.write( "the hypotenuse of an isosceles right triangle is 7 centimeters longer than either of its legs. 
\n" );
document.write( "Let x, x and (x+7)represent the lengths of each leg and the hypoenuse respectively
\n" );
document.write( "using the Pythagorean Theorem to find the lengths of the sides
\n" );
document.write( "    x^2 + x^2 = (x+7)^2
\n" );
document.write( "     2x^2 = x^2 + 14x + 49
\n" );
document.write( "      x^2 - 14x-49 = 0
