Square left and right sides:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"x%2B2=2%5E2-2sqrt%28x%29%2Bx\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x%2B2=4-2sqrt%28x%29%2Bx\"$
\n" ); document.write( "subtract x from both sides,
\n" ); document.write( " $\"2=4-2sqrt%28x%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"2-4=-2sqrt%28x%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"2=2sqrt%28x%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"1=sqrt%28x%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( "x=1 \n" ); document.write( "
