Is it:
\n" ); document.write( "1) $\"sqrt%282x%2B1%29+=+3\"$ or:
\n" ); document.write( "2) $\"sqrt%282x%29+%2B+1+=+3\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "If it's equation 1), then:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"sqrt%282x%2B1%29+=+3\"$ Square both sides.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"2x%2B1+=+9\"$ Now subtract 1 from both sides.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"2x+=+8\"$ Finally, divide both sides by 2.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x+=+4\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "If it's equation 2), then:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"sqrt%282x%29%2B1+=+3\"$ Subtract 1 from both sides.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"sqrt%282x%29+=+2\"$ Now square both sides.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"2x+=+4\"$ Finally, divide both sides by 2.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x+=+2\"$ \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
