\n" ); document.write( "Equations:
\n" ); document.write( "x + y = -60
\n" ); document.write( "xy = 126
\n" ); document.write( "----
\n" ); document.write( "Solve for \"x\":
\n" ); document.write( "y = -60-x
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "Substitute and solve for \"x\"
\n" ); document.write( "x(-60-x) = 126
\n" ); document.write( "-x^2-60x= 126
\n" ); document.write( "x^2+60x+126 = 0
\n" ); document.write( "-------
\n" ); document.write( "Use the Quadratic Formula
\n" ); document.write( "x = -2.1791 or x = -57.8209
