\"+x%5E2+-+10x+%2B+8+=+0+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+x%5E2+-+10x+=+-8+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+x%5E2+-+10x+%2B+%28-10%2F2%29%5E2+=+-8+%2B+%28-10%2F2%29%5E2+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+x%5E2+-+10x+%2B+25+=+-8+%2B+25+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+x%5E2+-+10x+%2B+25+=+17+\"
\n" ); document.write( "Now I can multiply both sides by \"+4+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+4x%5E2+-+40x+%2B+100+=+68+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+%28+2x+-+10+%29%5E2+=+%28+sqrt%2868%29+%29%5E2+\"
\n" ); document.write( "So, I can make the last answer work, I just
\n" ); document.write( "would not have multiplied both sides by \"+4+\"\r
