You can put this solution on YOUR website!
I'm assuming the equation looks like this:
\n" );
document.write( "
\n" );
document.write( " Subtract 5 from both sides
\n" );
document.write( " Plug this into the quadratic formula
\n" );
document.write( "\n" );
document.write( "\n" );
document.write( " | Solved by pluggable solver: SOLVE quadratic equation with variable | \n" );
document.write( "Quadratic equation  (in our case  ) has the following solutons:
\n" );
document.write( "
\n" );
document.write( " 
\n" );
document.write( "
\n" );
document.write( " For these solutions to exist, the discriminant  should not be a negative number.
\n" );
document.write( "
\n" );
document.write( " First, we need to compute the discriminant :  .
\n" );
document.write( "
\n" );
document.write( " Discriminant d=96 is greater than zero. That means that there are two solutions:  .
\n" );
document.write( "
\n" );
document.write( " 
\n" );
document.write( " 
\n" );
document.write( "
\n" );
document.write( " Quadratic expression  can be factored:
\n" );
document.write( " 
\n" );
document.write( " Again, the answer is: 2.22474487139159, -0.224744871391589.\n" );
document.write( "Here's your graph:
\n" );
document.write( " | \n" );
document.write( "
\n" );
document.write( "\n" );
document.write( "In other words, you should get
\n" );
document.write( " and 
\n" );
document.write( "Which reduces to
\n" );
document.write( " and 
\n" );
document.write( "You were close to the answer, so double check your steps to see where you went wrong. \n" );
