I'm assuming $\"2%2F5\"$ and $\"1%2F5\"$ are exponents??
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%28x-10%29%5E%282%2F5%29=%289x%29%5E%281%2F5%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%28x-10%29%5E2=9x\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x%5E2-20x%2B100=9x\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x%5E2-29x%2B100=0\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%28x-25%29%28x-4%29=0\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Two solutions:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x-25=0\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x=25\"$
\n" ); document.write( "and
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x-4=0\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x=4\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Now you need to go back to the original equation and make sure that both solutions are actual solutions to the original equation. I can't overstate the requirement to do this in these types of problems.
