Convert to
.
Note the left hand side is a complete square
So, we have
Hence, 3x+2y = 0 and we obtain
y = -3x/2
That is the whole story.
If you cannot see the complete square or you cannot factor
out the left hand side. Then consider x as a constant,y as
a variable and use the quadratic formual to solve y in terms of x.
