\n" ); document.write( "12(x-4)-(x+2)=(x+2)(x-4)
\n" ); document.write( "-----------------
\n" ); document.write( "12x - 48 - x - 2 = x^2 - 2x - 8
\n" ); document.write( "11x - 50 = x^2 - 2x - 8
\n" ); document.write( "x^2 -13x + 42 = 0
\n" ); document.write( "(x - 6)*(x - 7) = 0
\n" ); document.write( "x = 6, x = 7
