Hello,
\n" ); document.write( "Let's expand this out (y-6)(y+1)=-12 to get:
\n" ); document.write( "y^2-5y-6=-12
\n" ); document.write( "Add 12 to get:
\n" ); document.write( "y^2-5y+6=0
\n" ); document.write( "Factor this:
\n" ); document.write( "(y-2)(y-3)=0
\n" ); document.write( "Solve for y:
\n" ); document.write( "y=2
\n" ); document.write( "y=3
\n" ); document.write( "Make sense?
