Solve
\n" ); document.write( "a) \"sqrt%282x%2B1%29\" + 5 = 8
\n" ); document.write( "subtract 5 from both sides and you have:
\n" ); document.write( "\"sqrt%282x%2B1%29\" = 3
\n" ); document.write( "Square both sides and you have
\n" ); document.write( "2x + 1 = 9
\n" ); document.write( "subtract 1 from both sides
\n" ); document.write( "2x = 8
\n" ); document.write( "divide both sides by 2
\n" ); document.write( "x = 4
