You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Do you mean \"1%2F%289y%29+=+20\" or \"%281%2F9%29y=+20\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "In either case, use the formula that says \"a%2Fb=c%2Fd\" means \"ad+=+bc\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "If you meant, \"1%2F%289y%29+=+20\" \"1%2F%289y%29+=+20%2F1\"
\n" ); document.write( "then you have 180y = 1, so \"y+=+1%2F180\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "If you meant, \"%281%2F9%29y=+20\",
\n" ); document.write( "then you have \"y%2F9=20%2F1\", which gives you \"y+=+180\".\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "It all depends upon where you meant to put the y!\r
