solve:
\n" ); document.write( " The square root of 2x+6=x
\n" ); document.write( "-------
\n" ); document.write( "sqrt(2x+6) = x
\n" ); document.write( "----
\n" ); document.write( "Square both sides to get:
\n" ); document.write( "2x+6 = x^2
\n" ); document.write( "-----
\n" ); document.write( "Solve::
\n" ); document.write( "x^2 - 2x - 6 = 0
\n" ); document.write( "-------
\n" ); document.write( "x = [2+-sqrt(4-4*-6)]/2
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "x = [2+- sqrt(28)]/2
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "x = [1+-sqrt(7)]
\n" ); document.write( "------------------
