You can put this solution on YOUR website!
The first equation, just set the expression equal to zero and solve.\r

\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The second equation, since not factorable, use Completing the Square. The term needed is $\"%285%2F2%29%5E2\"$ . You can avoid Completing the Square and just take its result using the general solution....\r
