You can put this solution on YOUR website!
The expression may be negative or non-negative. These two cases give system%28x%5E2-14x%2B29-4=0%2Cand%2Cx%5E2-14x%2B29%2B4=0%29

Solve that system to get possibly four solutions; but you must check each solution in the original equation to find if it works.
