x^2+(x+2)^2=10^2
\n" ); document.write( "x^2+x^2+4x+4=100
\n" ); document.write( "2x^2+4x+4-100=0
\n" ); document.write( "2x^2+4x-96=0
\n" ); document.write( "2(x^2+2x-48)=0
\n" ); document.write( "2(x+8)(x-6)=0
\n" ); document.write( "x-6=0
\n" ); document.write( "x=6 for one side
\n" ); document.write( "6+2=8 for the other side.
