$\"12%5E2+%2B+%282x%29%5E2+=+%282x%2B4%29%5E2\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"144+%2B+4x%5E2+=+4x%5E2+%2B+16x+%2B+16\"$
\n" ); document.write( "subtract $\"4x%5E2\"$ from each side
\n" ); document.write( " $\"144+=+16x+%2B+16\"$
\n" ); document.write( "add -16 to each side
\n" ); document.write( " $\"128+=+16x\"$
\n" ); document.write( "divide each side by 16
