You can put this solution on YOUR website!
(x+(x+1))^2 does NOT equal 2x^2+1\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "(2x+1)(2x+1) __ FOILing __ 4x^2+4x+1=529\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "subtracting 1 and dividing by 4 __ x^2+x=132\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "subtracting 132 __ x^2+x-132=0 __ factoring __ (x+12)(x-11)=0\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "so x=-12 and x=11
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
