\n" ); document.write( "we can ignore the middle portions and just write
\n" ); document.write( " $\"sqrt%28%28x%29%2F%28x%2B16%29%29+=+25%2F12\"$
\n" ); document.write( "square both sides
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x%2F%28%28x%2B16%29%29+=+625%2F144\"$
\n" ); document.write( "cross multiply
\n" ); document.write( "144x = 625(x+16)
\n" ); document.write( "144x = 625x + 10000
\n" ); document.write( "-10000 = 625x - 144x
\n" ); document.write( "-10000 = 481x
\n" ); document.write( "x = -10000/481
\n" ); document.write( "x = -20.79
