y x y = 112 = \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"y%5E2+=+112\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "to get y by itself, take the square root of both sides:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"sqrt%28y%5E2%29+=+sqrt%28112%29\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "simplify the root by finding what, if any, products of 112 are perfect squares:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "16 x 7 = 112, and 16 is a perfect square, so the square root of 112 reduces down to $\"4sqrt%287%29\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "FINAL ANSWER: $\"y+=+4sqrt%287%29\"$ \r
