Solve for x:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%283x-2%29%5E2+=+-9\"$ Take the square root of both sides.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"3x-2+=+sqrt%28-9%29\"$ or $\"3x-2+=+-sqrt%28-9%29\"$ Add 2 to both sides.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"3x+=+2%2B-3%2Asqrt%28-9%29\"$ Divide both sides by 3.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x+=+%282%2F3%29%2B-sqrt%28-1%29\"$ which can be written as:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x+=+%282%2F3%29%2B-i\"$
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
