You can put this solution on YOUR website!
$\"p%2B1=0\"$ ---> $\"p=-1\"$ Solve for p
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x%5E2-x-6=0\"$ Substitute p into equation
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%28x-3%29%28x%2B2%29=0\"$ factor
\n" ); document.write( " $\"highlight%28x=3%29\"$ solve for x
\n" ); document.write( " or
\n" ); document.write( " $\"highlight%28x=-2%29\"$ solve for x
\n" ); document.write( "-
\n" ); document.write( "x can be either -2 or 3, both of them are possible solutions. \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
