You can put this solution on YOUR website!
square root(-4w + 44) = w - 3
\n" ); document.write( "square both sides of the =
\n" ); document.write( "-4w + 44 = w^2 -6w + 9
\n" ); document.write( "add 4w to both sides of =
\n" ); document.write( "44 = w^2 -2w + 9
\n" ); document.write( "subtract 44 from both sides of =
\n" ); document.write( "w^2 -2w -35 = 0
\n" ); document.write( "factor the polynomial
\n" ); document.write( "(w - 7) * (w + 5) = 0
\n" ); document.write( "two solutions, w = 7 or w -5
\n" ); document.write( "************************************************

\n" ); document.write( "w = 7
\n" ); document.write( "square root( (-4*7) + 44) = 7 -3
\n" ); document.write( "square root( 16 ) = 4
\n" ); document.write( "4 = 4
\n" ); document.write( "***************************************
\n" ); document.write( "w = -5
\n" ); document.write( "square root( (-4*-5) + 44 ) = -5-3
\n" ); document.write( "square root( 64 ) = -8
\n" ); document.write( "-8 = -8
\n" ); document.write( "note square root is + or -
