You can put this solution on YOUR website!
(x - 2/3)^2 = 14
-----
x-(2/3) = sqrt(14) or x-(2/3) = -sqrt(14)
------------------
x = (2/3)+sqrt(14) or x = (2/3)-sqrt(14)

I'll say +z+=+x+-+2%2F3+
+z%5E2+=+14+
+z+=+sqrt%28+14+%29+
and, also
+z+=+-sqrt%2814%29+
+x+-+2%2F3+=+sqrt%2814%29+
+x+=+2%2F3+%2B+sqrt%2814%29+
and, also
+x+=+2%2F3+-+sqrt%2814%29+
---------------------
check answer:
+%28+2%2F3+%2B+sqrt%2814%29+-+2%2F3+%29%5E2+=+14+
+%28+sqrt%2814%29+%29%5E2+=+14+
+14+=+14+
OK
