SOLUTION: don't know how to type exponent. the equation is x squared plus 0x minus 1 equals 0. i don't even know where to begin. i know x squared and x can't be combined. add 1 to each side.

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
From your description:
x%5E2+-+1+=+0 Add 1 to both sides.
x%5E2+=+1 Take the square root of both sides.
x+=+1 or x+=+-1
P.S. Exponents can be entered thus: x^2 That's x followed by the caret (^) then the exponent.
