Hello,
\n" ); document.write( "Let's first get rid of the fractions. Multiply by 2y
\n" ); document.write( "9/2+5/2y=2y-4 to get:
\n" ); document.write( "9y+5=4y^2-8y
\n" ); document.write( "Move it all to one side:
\n" ); document.write( "4y^2-17y-5
\n" ); document.write( "Use quadratic formula $\"x+=+%28-b+%2B-+sqrt%28+b%5E2-4%2Aa%2Ac+%29%29%2F%282%2Aa%29+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "x = (17 +- sqrt( 289+80))/(8)
\n" ); document.write( "x= (17+3sqrt41)/8
\n" ); document.write( "x= (17-3sqrt41)/8
\n" ); document.write( "Make sense?
