document.write( "You have (x-11)(x-11)=0. Notice that you are multiplying two factors together. In order for their product to be zero, one of the two factors must equal zero. For example 3*0=0 or 0*3=0. (This is called the Zero Product Property in math...catchy title, isn't it?)<BR>\n" );
document.write( ".<BR>\n" );
document.write( "In your problem, both factors are the same, so x-11 must equal 0. This is only true when x=11 because 11-11=0, so the solution to this equation is x=11.<BR>\n" );
