$\"4x%28x-2%29+-+5x%28x-1%29+=+2\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"4x%5E2+-+8x+-+5x%5E2+%2B+5x+=+2\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Add $\"4x%5E2+-+5x%5E2+=+-x%5E2\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Add $\"x%5E2\"$ to both sides
\n" ); document.write( "Add $\"-8x+%2B+5x+=+-+3x\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Add $\"3x\"$ to both sides
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x%5E2+%2B+3x+%2B+2+=+0\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%28x%2B2%29%28x%2B1%29+=+0\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x+=+-2\"$ answer
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x+=+-1\"$ answer
\n" ); document.write( "These are the values of $\"x\"$ that make the above equation true \n" ); document.write( "
