You can put this solution on YOUR website!
(x-1)(x-1)=4x-7
\n" ); document.write( "(x-1)^2=4x-7
\n" ); document.write( "x^2+1-2x=4x-7
\n" ); document.write( "x^2+1-2x-4x+7=0
\n" ); document.write( "x^2-6x+8=0
\n" ); document.write( "(x-4)(x-2)=0
\n" ); document.write( "x=4,2
\n" ); document.write( "Larger root is 4
\n" ); document.write( "That is your answer
\n" ); document.write( "
