Call the number x.

\n" ); document.write( "Square root of 5 more than means add $\"sqrt%285%29\"$ to something.

\n" ); document.write( "Add it to what? More than twice the number. That's 2x.

\n" ); document.write( " $\"2x%2Bsqrt%285%29\"$ is 7 means = 7.

\n" ); document.write( " $\"2x%2Bsqrt%285%29=7\"$

\n" ); document.write( "Subtract $\"sqrt%285%29\"$ from both sides.

\n" ); document.write( " $\"2x=7-sqrt%285%29\"$

\n" ); document.write( "Divide both sides by 2.

\n" ); document.write( " $\"x=%287-sqrt%285%29%29%2F2+=+2.38196601\"$
