\r\n" );
document.write( " = .\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Square both sides\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "x - 2 = .\r\n" );

document.write( " = 0.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Factor left side\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "(x-3)*(x-6) = 0.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "The roots are x= 3  and  x= 6.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Only x = 6 satisfies the original equation.\r\n" );
