$\"+sqrt+%28+-9x-9+%29+%2B+x+=+1+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "add - x to each side
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+sqrt+%28+-9x-9+%29+=+-x+%2B+1+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "square each side
\n" ); document.write( " $\"-9x+-+9+=+x%5E2+-2x+%2B+1\"$
\n" ); document.write( "add 9x + 9 to each side
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+0+=+x%5E2+-2x+%2B+1+%2B9x+%2B+9+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+0+=+x%5E2+%2B+7x+%2B+10+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "factor
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+0+=+%28x%2B2%29%28x%2B5%29+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "so x = -2 or x = -5
\n" ); document.write( "Plug -2 back into the original equation $\"+sqrt+%28+-9x-9+%29+%2B+x+=+1+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+sqrt+%28+-9%28-2%29-9+%29+%2B+%28-2%29+=+1+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+sqrt+%28+18-9+%29+%2B+%28-2%29+=+1+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+sqrt+%28+9+%29+%2B+%28-2%29+=+1+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+3+%2B+%28-2%29+=+1+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "So -2 works.
\n" ); document.write( "Plug -5 back into the original equation $\"+sqrt+%28+-9x-9+%29+%2B+x+=+1+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+sqrt+%28+-9%28-5%29-9+%29+%2B+%28-5%29+=+1+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+sqrt+%28+45-9+%29+%2B+%28-5%29+=+1+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+sqrt+%28+36+%29+%2B+%28-5%29+=+1+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+6+%2B+%28-5%29+=+1+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "-5 works. \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
