You can put this solution on YOUR website!
(x-5)^2 = 6
\n" ); document.write( "\"%28sqrt%28x-5%29%29%5E2+=+sqrt%286%29%29\" [take the square root of both sides]
\n" ); document.write( "\"%28x-5%29+=+sqrt%286%29%29\" \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"%28x-5%2B5%29+=+5%2Bsqrt%286%29%29\" [solve for x]\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \"%28x%29+=+5%2Bsqrt%286%29%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "or
\n" ); document.write( "\"%28x%29+=+7.4495%29%29\"
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Check by plugging x=7.4495 back into the original equation
\n" ); document.write( "\"%28x-5%29%5E2+=+%286%29%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"%287.4495-5%29%5E2+=+%286%29%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "(2.4495)^2=6
\n" ); document.write( "6.00=6 [checks out]
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
