\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "if you have an equation that has say, the square root of (x-3) -x=-3
\n" ); document.write( "I know you are supposed to square both sides but I'm having deciding what to do with the x? Do i move it to the other side of the equation or continue to work with it on the side with the square root. Please help. My Algebra teacher never did a problem like this in class. My homework isn't due until next Thursday (August 30th) but please respond as quickly as possible. I would really like to know what I'm doing on my homework and not fall behind. \r

\"sqrt%28x-3%29+-x=-3\"\r

\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"sqrt%28x-3%29=-3%2Bx\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"sqrt%28x-3%29=x-3\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"%28sqrt%28x-3%29%29%5E2=%28x-3%29%5E2\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"x-3=%28x-3%29%5E2\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"x-3=x%5E2+-+6x+%2B+9\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"0=x%5E2+-+6x+%2B+9-x%2B3\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"0=x%5E2+-+7x+%2B+12\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"x%5E2+-+7x+%2B+12+=+0\"\r

\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"x=3\" or \"x=4\"\r

\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So the *possible* solutions are \"x=3\" or \"x=4\"\r
