You can put this solution on YOUR website!
The steps look good, and you used the description to use ONE variable instead of two variables. You would expect the solutions for x in the quadratic equation to be integers.\r

\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "You can try factoring unless you are not patient enough and you can use formula for general solution of a quadratic equation. Keep going!\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Further Note: Try factoring; it should be fairly easy with this.
