2t(x - 2t) = y(x - y)
\n" ); document.write( "2tx-4t^2=xy-y^2
\n" ); document.write( "2tx-xy=4t^2-y^2
\n" ); document.write( "x(2t-y)=4t^2-y^2
\n" ); document.write( "x=(4t^2-y^2)/(2t-y)
\n" ); document.write( "x=(2t+y)(2t-y)/(2t-y)
\n" ); document.write( "x=2t+y ans.
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
