You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Assuming the problem is:
\n" ); document.write( "\"%28%28y%2B1%29%29%2F%28%28y%2B10%29%29\" = \"%28%28y-2%29%29%2F%28%28y%2B4%29%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "Cross multiply
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "(y+1)(y+4) = (y+10)(y-2)
\n" ); document.write( "FOIL
\n" ); document.write( "y^2 + 5y + 4 = y^2 + 8y - 20
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Arrange the y's on the left
\n" ); document.write( "y^2 - y^2 + 5y - 8y = -20 - 4
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "-3y = -24
\n" ); document.write( "Which is
\n" ); document.write( "3y = 24
\n" ); document.write( "y = \"24%2F3\"
\n" ); document.write( "y = 8
\n" ); document.write( ";
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Check solution in original equation
