\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "        Dear visitor,\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "        first what I have to say,  looking at your post,  is that there is  NO  question in it.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "        There is some equation,  but there is no question.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "        So,  in order for this post makes sense,  I/we should create a question to it.\r

\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "        One reasonable question is  \" Find the set of solutions to this equation. \"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "        So,  I will assume that this is the question,  and I will give the solution in my post below.\r
