You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Everything you did here looks right but;
\n" ); document.write( "x^2 + 3x - 6 = 0; will not factor, you have to use the quadratic formula;
\n" ); document.write( "solution would be x ~ -4.37 and x ~ +1.37, however only +1.37 would be a solution in the original problem
