document.write( "Whenever you see a problem like this, you should remember the nemonic, \"Please Excuse My Dear Aunt Sally\". This stands for Parenthesis, Exponent, Multiplication, Division, Addition, and Subtraction. ^.^ This is the special order that you should apply to all math problems. Let's begin! The first thing you might do is combine the terms in the parenthesis. <IMG STYLE=\"max-width:80%;\" SRC=/cgi-bin/plot-formula.mpl?expression=6y%2By%284-2%29=12 ALIGN=MIDDLE  ALT=\"6y%2By%284-2%29=12\"   DISABLED_style= \"max-width:90%; height:auto;\" > then becomes <IMG STYLE=\"max-width:80%;\" SRC=/cgi-bin/plot-formula.mpl?expression=6y%2By%282%29=12 ALIGN=MIDDLE  ALT=\"6y%2By%282%29=12\"   DISABLED_style= \"max-width:90%; height:auto;\" >, which can actually be written as <IMG STYLE=\"max-width:80%;\" SRC=/cgi-bin/plot-formula.mpl?expression=6y%2B2y=12 ALIGN=MIDDLE  ALT=\"6y%2B2y=12\"   DISABLED_style= \"max-width:90%; height:auto;\" >. We can skip the exponents, multiplication, and division steps since there aren't any of those. Next we add like terms to get <IMG STYLE=\"max-width:80%;\" SRC=/cgi-bin/plot-formula.mpl?expression=8y=12 ALIGN=MIDDLE  ALT=\"8y=12\"   DISABLED_style= \"max-width:90%; height:auto;\" >. This leaves us with one last step to get y by itself (I know. It's a bit out of order, but sometimes this happens when you finish the sequence. Use your logic to get the variable by itself =)). We have to divide both sides by 8 to get <IMG STYLE=\"max-width:80%;\" SRC=/cgi-bin/plot-formula.mpl?expression=y=3%2F2 ALIGN=MIDDLE  ALT=\"y=3%2F2\"   DISABLED_style= \"max-width:90%; height:auto;\" >. ^0^ I hope writing my comments in helps!!!<BR>\n" );
