a=(x+6); b=(x-1); c=(x+8)
\n" ); document.write( "\"a%5E2%2Bb%5E2=c%5E2\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"%28x%2B6%29%5E2%2B%28x-1%29%5E2=%28x%2B8%29%5E2\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"x%5E2%2B12x%2B36%2Bx%5E2-2x%2B1=x%5E2%2B16x%2B64\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"2x%5E2%2B10x%2B37=x%5E2%2B16x%2B64\" Subtract x^2 from each side.
\n" ); document.write( "\"x%5E2%2B10x%2B37=16x%2B64\" Subtract 10x from each side.
\n" ); document.write( "\"x%5E2%2B37=6x%2B64\" Subtract 37 from each side.
\n" ); document.write( "\"x%5E2=27\" Find the square root of each side
\n" ); document.write( "\"x=3sqrt%283%29\"
