You can put this solution on YOUR website!
You use a similar substitution, $\"u=x%5E%283%2F4%29\"$ , $\"u%5E2=%28x%5E%283%2F4%29%29%5E2=x%5E%283%2F2%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"u%5E2-2u%2B1=0\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%28u-1%29%5E2=0\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"u-1=0\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"u=1\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x%5E%283%2F4%29=1\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x=1\"$
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
