\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "What you show is \"x%2B1%2Fx=3\" if you meant what you wrote.
\n" ); document.write( "Denominator is x.
\n" ); document.write( "\"x%28x%2Fx%29%2B1%2Fx=3\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"%28x%5E2%2B1%29%2Fx=3\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"x%28x%5E2%2B1%29%2Fx=3x\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"x%5E2%2B1=3x\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"x%5E2-3x%2B1=0\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The quadratic expression is not factorable. Easiest way to solve is use the general solution for a quadratic equation.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"x=%283%2B-+sqrt%289-4%29%29%2F2\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"highlight%28x=%283%2B-+sqrt%285%29%29%2F2%29\" and both will work in the original equation.
