You can put this solution on YOUR website!
t^2 + m = 28
\n" ); document.write( "t + m^2 = 148
\n" ); document.write( "Set same terms to one side such as \"t\":
\n" ); document.write( "t^2 = 28 - m
\n" ); document.write( "t = 148 - m^2
\n" ); document.write( "Square the bottom:
\n" ); document.write( "t^2 = 28 - m
\n" ); document.write( "t^2 = 21,904 - 296m^2 + m^4
\n" ); document.write( "Negate the top (could the bottom i guess):
\n" ); document.write( "-t^2 = -28 + m
\n" ); document.write( "t^2 = 21,904 - 296m^2 + m^4
\n" ); document.write( "Add:
\n" ); document.write( "0 = m^4 - 296m^2 + m + 21,876
