You can put this solution on YOUR website!
$\"3x-5=x%5E2-2x%2B1\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x%5E2-2x-3x%2B1%2B5=0\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x%5E2-5x%2B6=0\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"%28x-2%29%28x-3%29=0\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Check if any of these will work:
\n" ); document.write( "x=2 or x=3\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "3*2-5=1, and sqrt(1) is good.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "3*3-5=4, and sqrt(4) is good.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "--------------------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Both solutions are good: x=2 or x=3.
\n" ); document.write( "-------------------------------------------- \n" ); document.write( "
