set the two equations equal to each other
\n" ); document.write( "x^2 + 3 = x + 5
\n" ); document.write( "x^2 -x - 2 = 0
\n" ); document.write( "factor polynomial
\n" ); document.write( "(x+1) * (x-2) = 0
\n" ); document.write( "therefore, x = -1 or 2
\n" ); document.write( "******************************************

\n" ); document.write( "a) x = -1
\n" ); document.write( "(-1)^2 + 3 = -1 + 5
\n" ); document.write( "1 + 3 = 4
\n" ); document.write( "4 = 4
\n" ); document.write( "b) x = 2
\n" ); document.write( "2^2 + 3 = 2 + 5
\n" ); document.write( "4 + 3 = 7
\n" ); document.write( "7 = 7
