You can put this solution on YOUR website!
The format for subscript looks like
\n" ); document.write( "log( 3,x ), and when you put it in the
\n" ); document.write( "\"\"%22+and+%22\"\" symbols you get
\n" ); document.write( "\"+log%283%2Cx%29+\"
\n" ); document.write( "------------
\n" ); document.write( "\"+log%28+3%2Cx+%29+%2B+log%28+3%2C%28+x-4+%29%29+=+1+\"
\n" ); document.write( "The trick here is to say \"+1+=+log%28+3%2C3+%29+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+log%28+3%2Cx+%29+%2B+log%28+3%2C%28+x-4+%29%29+=+log%28+3%2C3+%29+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+log%28+3%2Cx%2A%28x-4%29+%29+=+log%28+3%2C3+%29+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+x%2A%28+x-4+%29+=+3+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+x%5E2+-+4x++-+3+=+0+\"
\n" ); document.write( "use the quadratic formula
\n" ); document.write( "\"+x+=+%28-b+%2B-+sqrt%28+b%5E2+-+4%2Aa%2Ac+%29%29+%2F+%282%2Aa%29+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+a+=+1+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+b+=+-4+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+c+=+-3+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+x+=+%28-%28-4%29+%2B-+sqrt%28+%28-4%29%5E2+-+4%2A1%2A%28-3%29+%29%29+%2F+%282%2A1%29+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+x+=+%28+4+%2B-+sqrt%28+16++%2B+12+%29%29+%2F+2+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+x+=+%28+4+%2B-+sqrt%28+28+%29%29+%2F+2+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+x+=+%28+4+%2B+5.2915+%29+%2F+2+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+x+=+9.2915+%2F+2+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+x+=+4.64575+\"
\n" ); document.write( "check answer:
\n" ); document.write( "\"+x%5E2+-+4x++-+3+=+0+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+4.64575%5E2+-+4%2A4.64575++-+3+=+0+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+21.583+-+18.59+-+3+=+0+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+21.583+-+21.59+=+0+\"
\n" ); document.write( "close enough
\n" ); document.write( "You can also go back and use the negative
\n" ); document.write( "square root of 28 and get another answer\r
