$\"sqrt%28x%5E2-3x-1%29-3=0\"$ Add 3 to each side
\n" ); document.write( " $\"sqrt%28x%5E2-3x-1%29-3%2B3=0%2B3\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"sqrt%28x%5E2-3x-1%29=3\"$ Square each side of the equation to remove the square root sign
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x%5E2-3x-1=9\"$ Subtract 9 from each side of the equation
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x%5E2-3x-1-9=9-9\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x%5E2-3x-10=0\"$ Factorise
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%28x-5%29%28x%2B2%29=0\"$ ie x = 5 or x = -2\r
