We can write this problem in a different way using algebra. \"The number 5 greater than x\" is written:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "x+5\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "and the square is written\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"%28x%2B5%29%5E2=%28x%2B5%29%28x%2B5%29\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "This can be expanded by multiplying each term in the first bracket by each term in the second bracket.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"x%5E2%2B5x%2B5x%2B%285%2A5%29\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "= $\"x%5E2%2B10x%2B25\"$ \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
