$\"y+%2B6sqrt%28y%29+=+16\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"6sqrt%28y%29+=+16-y\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Square both sides
\n" ); document.write( "36y = 256 - 32y + y^2}}}
\n" ); document.write( " $\"y%5E2+-68y+%2B+256+=+0\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Factor
\n" ); document.write( "(y - 4)(y - 64) = 0
\n" ); document.write( "y = 4, y = 64 \n" ); document.write( "
