Hello,
\n" ); document.write( "This $\"+sqrt+%283x%2B4%29=2%2B+sqrt+%28x%29\"$ can be squared on both sides to get:
\n" ); document.write( "3x+4=(2+ sqrt x)^2
\n" ); document.write( "Expand this out to:
\n" ); document.write( "3x+4=4+4 sqrt x +x
\n" ); document.write( "Subtract 4 and x to get:
\n" ); document.write( "2x=4 sqrt x
\n" ); document.write( "Divide by 4 each side:
\n" ); document.write( "1/2(x)=sqrt x
\n" ); document.write( "Square both sides again to get:
\n" ); document.write( "1/4x^2=x
\n" ); document.write( "Divide by x:
\n" ); document.write( "1/4x=1
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply by 4:
\n" ); document.write( "x=4
\n" ); document.write( "Make sense?
