\"+sqrt%28+43+-+n+%29+=+n+-+1+\"
\n" ); document.write( "Square both sides
\n" ); document.write( "\"+43+-+n+=+%28+n+-+1+%29%5E2+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+43+-+n+=+n%5E2+-2n+%2B+1+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+n%5E2+-+n+-+42+=+0+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+%28+n+-+7+%29%2A%28+n+%2B+6+%29+=+0+\"
\n" ); document.write( "C) {7}
\n" ); document.write( "\"+-6+\" does not work because you have
