You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Solve the following.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"sqrt%28x%2B4%29=x%2B4\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Square both sides
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x+%2B+4+=+%28x%2B4%29%5E2\"$
\n" ); document.write( "FOIL (x+4)(x+4)
\n" ); document.write( "x + 4 = x^2 + 8x + 16
\n" ); document.write( "Combine like terms on the right
\n" ); document.write( "0 = x^2 + 8x - x + 16 - 4
\n" ); document.write( "A quadratic equation
\n" ); document.write( "x^2 + 7x + 12 = 0
\n" ); document.write( "Factors to
\n" ); document.write( "(x+3)(x+4) = 0
\n" ); document.write( "Two solutions
\n" ); document.write( "x = -3
\n" ); document.write( "x = -4
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "You can check both these solutions in the original problem \n" ); document.write( "
