Solve:
\n" ); document.write( "\"-7%2B5sqrt%282x%2B3%29+=+8\" First, add 7 to both sides of the equation.
\n" ); document.write( "\"-7%2B7%2B5sqrt%282x%2B3%29+=+7%2B8\" Simplify.
\n" ); document.write( "\"5sqrt%282x%2B3%29+=+15\" Now divide both sides by 5.
\n" ); document.write( "\"%285sqrt%282x%2B3%29%29%2F5+=+15%2F5\" Divide.
\n" ); document.write( "\"sqrt%282x%2B3%29+=+3\" Square both sides.
\n" ); document.write( "\"%28sqrt%282x%2B3%29%29%5E2+=+3%5E2\" Evaluate.
\n" ); document.write( "\"2x%2B3+=+9\" Subtract 3 from both sides.
\n" ); document.write( "\"2x%2B3-3+=+9-3\" Evaluate.
\n" ); document.write( "\"2x+=+6\" Finally, divide both sides by 2.
\n" ); document.write( "\"x+=+3\"
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
