Re-stated: (x+7) squared is 189 more than x squared. So
\n" ); document.write( "\"%28x%2B7%29%5E2+=+x%5E2+%2B+189\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"x%5E2%2B14x%2B49+=+x%5E2%2B189\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"14x+=+140\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"x+=+10\"

\n" ); document.write( "The original square had side length 10.
