\n" ); document.write( "(2x - 5)^2 = 4x(x - 2) + 61\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "4x^2 + 5^2 - 2 *4x * 5 = 4x*x - 4x *2 + 61\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "4x^2 + 25 - 40x = 4x^2 - 8x + 61\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "(Striking out 4x^2 from both sides)\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "25 - 40x = - 8x + 61\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Arranging like terms\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "-40x + 8x = 61 - 25\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "-32x = 36
\n" ); document.write( "x = 36/-32 = -9/8\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "x = -9/8\r
\n" ); document.write( "
