Solve:
\n" ); document.write( "\"sqrt%28x-1%29+=+x-7\" Square both sides.
\n" ); document.write( "\"x-1+=+x%5E2-14x%2B49\" Subtract x from both sides.
\n" ); document.write( "\"-1+=+x%5E2-15x%2B49\" Add 1 to both sides.
\n" ); document.write( "\"x%5E2-15x%2B50+=+0\" Factor.
\n" ); document.write( "\"%28x-5%29%28x-10%29+=+0\" Apply the zero products principle.
\n" ); document.write( "\"x-5+=+0\" or \"x-10+=+0\"
\n" ); document.write( "x = 5 or x = 10
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
