Numeric evaluation of symbolic solution to algebraic equation does not agree with numeric solution

[tfetter]

When the numeric values for the coefficients are substituted into the symbolic solution for an algebraic equation which was solved using the symbolic "Solve" function, the answer does not agree with a numeric solution obtained by using either a solve block or the symbolic engine when all the coefficients are first assigned their numeric values.   See the attached worksheet.  Worksheet was created in Mathcad version 10.0.1.0
