Question 50571: when attempting to solve the following equation, i have run into a roadblock. I am unaware of what to do with the variable "t" in order to solve this equation for "y". any help would be wonderful.
The equation is as follows
solve for "y"
-3y^2+6yt+5=0
thanks a million

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
-3y^2+6yt+5=0
-----------
You have a quadratic in y.
Use the quadratic formula to get:
y=[-6t+-sqrt((6t)^2-4(-3)(5)]/-2*3
y=[-6t+-sqrt(36t+60)]/(-6)
y=[-6t+-2sqrt(9t+15)]/-6
y=[t+(1/3)sqrt(9t+15)]
