Solve for m:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"m%5E2%2B8m+=+-7\"$ Add 7 to both sides.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"m%5E2%2B8m%2B7+=+0\"$ Factor.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%28m%2B1%29%28m%2B7%29+=+0\"$ Apply the zero products principle.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"m%2B1+=+0\"$ or $\"m%2B7+=+0\"$
\n" ); document.write( "If $\"m%2B1+=+0\"$ then $\"m+=+-1\"$
\n" ); document.write( "If $\"m%2B7+=+0\"$ then $\"m+=+-7\"$
