You can put this solution on YOUR website!
xy = 24
\n" ); document.write( "y = x + 2
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "xy = 24
\n" ); document.write( "x(x + 2) = 24
\n" ); document.write( "xx + 2x - 24 = 0
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "the above quadratic equation is in standard form, with a=1, b=2 and c=-24
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "to solve the quadratic equation, by using the quadratic formula, copy and paste this:
\n" ); document.write( "1 2 -24

\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "the quadratic has two real roots at:
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "x = 4
\n" ); document.write( "x = -6
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "using either root works fine for this problem:
\n" ); document.write( "x = 4
\n" ); document.write( "y = 6
\n" ); document.write( "OR
\n" ); document.write( "x = -6
\n" ); document.write( "y = -4
