Let the ? be represented by z. Now solve for z
\n" ); document.write( "\"9%2F%28x-4%29+=+%289x%2B36%29%2Fz+\" Use distribution on the left side numerator
\n" ); document.write( "\"9%2F%28x-4%29+=+%289%2A%28x%2B4%29%29%2Fz+\" divide both sides by 9
\n" ); document.write( "\"1%2F%28x%2B4%29+=+%28x%2B4%29%2Fz\" multiply both sides by z
\n" ); document.write( "\"z%2F%28x%2B4%29+=+%28x%2B4%29\" isolate z
\n" ); document.write( "\"z+=+%28x%2B4%29%28x-4%29\" simplify
\n" ); document.write( "\"z+=+x%5E2-16\"
