Positive solution:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x%5E2-8x=16\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x%5E2-8x%2B16=16%2B16\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%28x-4%29%5E2=32\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x-4=0+%2B-+sqrt%2832%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x=4+%2B-+4sqrt%282%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Negative solution:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"-%28x%5E2-8x%29=16\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x%5E2-8x=-16\"$
