You can put this solution on YOUR website!
(3x-5)^(1/2)=x-1
\n" ); document.write( "Square both sides
\n" ); document.write( " $\"3x-5+=+x%5E2+-+2x+%2B+1\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x%5E2+-+5x+%2B+6+=+0\"$
\n" ); document.write( "(x-2)*(x-3) = 0
\n" ); document.write( "x = 2, 3
\n" ); document.write( "-------------
\n" ); document.write( "You can do the check \n" ); document.write( "
