Solve for x:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"2%28x-5%29%5E2+=+3\"$ Divide both sides by 2.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%28x-5%29%5E2+=+3%2F2\"$ Take the square root of both sides.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x-5+=+sqrt%283%2F2%29\"$ or $\"x-5+=+-sqrt%283%2F2%29\"$ In both of these, add 5 to both sides.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x+=+5%2Bsqrt%283%2F2%29\"$ or $\"x+=+5-sqrt%283%2F2%29\"$ \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
