y, longer leg
\n" ); document.write( "y-7, shorter leg
\n" ); document.write( "y+7, hypotenuse\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"y%5E2%2B%28y-7%29%5E2=%28y%2B7%29%5E2\"
\n" ); document.write( "Simplify and solve.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "-\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Two possible first steps:
\n" ); document.write( "\"y%5E2%2By%5E2-14y%2B49=y%5E2%2B14y%2B49\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"y%5E2-28y=0\"
\n" ); document.write( "and you can do the rest.\r
