\n" ); document.write( "{sqrt2x+4} = sqrt3x \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Square each side; ({sqrt2x+4})^2 = (sqrt3x)^2
\n" ); document.write( "Simplify; 2x + 4 = 3x
\n" ); document.write( "Subtract x from both sides (this is probably where I went wrong); x + 4 = 2x
\n" ); document.write( "Divide each side by 2; 2 = x
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "But, once plugging the solution into the problem, it does not fit.
