\r\n" );
document.write( "1.  First let us complete the square:\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "    \"x%5E2+%2B+8x+%2B+6\" = \"%28x%5E2+%2B+8x+%2B+16%29+-+16+%2B+6\" = \"%28x%5E2+%2B+2%2A4x+%2B+4%5E2%29+-+10\" = \"%28x%2B4%29%5E2+-+10\".\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "2.  Having this, you can re-write the original equation as\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "    \"%28x%2B4%29%5E2+-+10\" = 0,   or\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "    \"%28x%2B4%29%5E2\" = \"10\".\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "    Take the square root from both sides:\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "    x + 4 = +/-\"sqrt%2810%29\",  or\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "    x = \"-4+%2B-+sqrt%2810%29\".\r\n" );
document.write( "
\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The equation is solved.
