$\"x%5E2=8x%2B2\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Whether you use the Quadratic formula or factoring, you want one side of the quadratic equation to be a zero. Subtracting 8x and 2 from each side we get:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x%5E2-8x-2=0\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Now we can use the quadratic formula:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x+=+%28-%28-8%29+%2B-+sqrt%28%28-8%29%5E2+-+4%281%29%28-2%29%29%29%2F2%281%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Simplifying:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x+=+%28-%28-8%29+%2B-+sqrt%2864+-+4%281%29%28-2%29%29%29%2F2%281%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x+=+%28-%28-8%29+%2B-+sqrt%2864+%2B+8%29%29%2F2%281%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x+=+%28-%28-8%29+%2B-+sqrt%2872%29%29%2F2%281%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x+=+%288+%2B-+sqrt%2872%29%29%2F2\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x+=+%288+%2B-+sqrt%2836%2A2%29%29%2F2\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x+=+%288+%2B-+sqrt%2836%29%2Asqrt%282%29%29%2F2\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x+=+%288+%2B-+6%2Asqrt%282%29%29%2F2\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x+=+%282%284+%2B-+3%2Asqrt%282%29%29%29%2F2\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x+=+%28cross%282%29%284+%2B-+3%2Asqrt%282%29%29%29%2Fcross%282%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x+=+4+%2B-+3%2Asqrt%282%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( "So the solutions to your equation are:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x+=+4+%2B+3%2Asqrt%282%29\"$ or $\"x+=+4+-+3%2Asqrt%282%29\"$ \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
