You can put this solution on YOUR website!
In order to solve this, you have to start with the first step. I'll show you:
\n" ); document.write( "-10x^2+11x+24= 20 G
\n" ); document.write( "-10x^2+11x+44= 0 I,S
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x=%28-b%2B-sqrt%28b%5E2-4%2Aa%2Ac%29%29%2F%282%2Aa%29\"$ QF
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x=%28-11%2B-sqrt%28121%2B1760%29%29%2F%28-20%29\"$ Sub,S
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x=%28-11%2B-sqrt%281881%29%29%2F%28-20%29\"$ S
\n" ); document.write( "Now do some thinking. Is 1881 a perfect? If it isn't, you do this:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x=%28-11%2B-43+32%2F87%29%29%2F%28-20%29\"$ S
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x=%28-53+32%2F87%29%29%2F%28-20%29\"$ S, (answer #1)
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x=32+32%2F87%29%29%2F%28-20%29\"$ S, (answer #2)
\n" ); document.write( "In the two answers, M.A.D. them. It means to multiply, add, and divide. Or you could do it this way which leaves it at a radical:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x=-11%2B-sqrt%281881%29%29%2F%28-20%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Now think! What times what is 1881? Well 9*209=1881, so 9 is a perfect leaving 209 in the sqrt.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x=-11%2B-9sqrt%28209%29%29%2F%28-20%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( "And that is your radical answer. \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
