document.write( "We square both sides of the equation:\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "(Ö-3x + 17)² = (10)²\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Squaring a square root takes away the radical on the left, and (10)² is 100,\r\n" );
document.write( "so we have\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "-3x + 17 = 100\r\n" );
