When you write problems such as this one, you need write them in a way as to leave no question about what the problem is asking. Using parentheses is one way to do this.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "You wrote:
\n" ); document.write( " 5sqrt(x) - sqrt(x) - 1 = 6 or is it 5sqrt(x) - sqrt(x-1) = 6 ?\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "I'll assume that it is the first one:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \"5sqrt%28x%29+-+sqrt%28x%29+-+1+=+6\" Subtract the sqrt terms.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"4sqrt%28x%29+-+1+=+6\" Now add 1 to both sides.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"4sqrt%28x%29+=+7\" Divide both sides by 4.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"sqrt%28x%29+=+7%2F4\" Finally, square both sides.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"x+=+49%2F16\" \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"x+=+3.0625\"
\n" ); document.write( "
