\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"%28x%2B2%29%5E2=25\"$ Start with the given equation.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"x%2B2=%22%22%2B-sqrt%2825%29\"$ Take the square root of both sides.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"x%2B2=sqrt%2825%29\"$ or $\"x%2B2=-sqrt%2825%29\"$ Break up the \"plus/minus\" to form two equations.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"x%2B2=5\"$ or $\"x%2B2=-5\"$ Take the square root of $\"25\"$ to get $\"5\"$ .\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"x=-2%2B5\"$ or $\"x=-2-5\"$ Subtract $\"2\"$ from both sides.\r

\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"x=3\"$ or $\"x=-7\"$ Combine like terms.\r
