Hi there,
\n" ); document.write( "The square of a number is 195 more
\n" ); document.write( "than twice the number.
\n" ); document.write( "x^2 = 195 + 2x
\n" ); document.write( "Put in ax^2 + bx + c = 0 form.
\n" ); document.write( "x^2 - 2x - 195 = 0
\n" ); document.write( "Factorise:
\n" ); document.write( "(x + 13)(x - 15) = 0
\n" ); document.write( "x + 13 = 0
\n" ); document.write( "x = -13
\n" ); document.write( "x - 15 = 0
\n" ); document.write( "x = 15
\n" ); document.write( "Either -13 and 15 can be the number
\n" ); document.write( "Hope this helps:-)
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
