solve the equation B = 3K / (2B-1) for the variable B.
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "B = \"%283K%29%2F%28%282B-1%29%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply both sides by (2B-1)
\n" ); document.write( "B(2B-1) = 3k
\n" ); document.write( "2B^2 - B = 3k
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "A quadratic equation
\n" ); document.write( "2B^2 - B - 3k = 0
\n" ); document.write( "Use the quadratic formula
\n" ); document.write( "\"x+=+%28-b+%2B-+sqrt%28+b%5E2-4%2Aa%2Ac+%29%29%2F%282%2Aa%29+\"
\n" ); document.write( "But in this problem x=B; a=2; b=-1 c=-3k
