\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"x%5E2=3x\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Multiply both sides by \"1%2Fx\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"x=3\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Check:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"3%5E2=9\" and \"3+%2A+3=9\"
\n" ); document.write( "
