You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Instead of:
\n" ); document.write( "(y-(2/y+1))/(1-(2/y+1))
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "I think you mean this:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%28y-%282%2F%28y%2B1%29%29%29%2F%281-%282%2F%28y%2B1%29%29%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply by (y+1)/(y+1):
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%28y-%282%2F%28y%2B1%29%29%29%28y%2B1%29%2F%281-%282%2F%28y%2B1%29%29%29%28y%2B1%29+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%28y%28y%2B1%29-2%29%2F%28%28y%2B1%29-2%29+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%28y%5E2%2By-2%29%2F%28y%2B1-2%29+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%28y%5E2%2By-2%29%2F%28y-1%29+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "factoring the numerator:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%28y%2B2%29%28y-1%29%2F%28y-1%29+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "canceling like-terms:
