Solve:
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "(x + 5)^2 = 3
\n" ); document.write( "Take the square root of both sides:
\n" ); document.write( "x + 5 = +- $\"sqrt%283%29%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Subtract 5 from both sides
\n" ); document.write( "x = -5 + sqrt(3)
\n" ); document.write( "and
\n" ); document.write( "x = -5 - sqrt(3)
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
