document.write( "Question 1188235: I'm using a book called No-Nonsense Algebra by Richard Fisher. I've run into a problem that I can't solve. I have the answer from the book but I would like to know how to solve the problem. I tried this;I can see it factors out to x minus 5 squared. Since it's squared I put (x minus 5) x sqrt(x minus 5) but from there not sure what to do. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!\r
