You can put this solution on YOUR website!
assume the problem is:
\n" ); document.write( "\"3%5E%28%28y-5%29%29+=+4%5E%28%28y%2B1%29%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "use natural logs and the log equiv of exponents
\n" ); document.write( "(y-5)ln(3) = (y+1)ln(4)
\n" ); document.write( "divide both sides by ln(3)
\n" ); document.write( "\"y+-+5+=+%28y%2B1%29%28ln%284%29%2Fln%283%29%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "y - 5 = 1.26186(y + 1)
\n" ); document.write( "y - 5 = 1.26186y + 1.26186
\n" ); document.write( "-5 - 1.26186 = 1.26186y - y
\n" ); document.write( " -6.26186 = .26186y
\n" ); document.write( "y = \"-6.26186%2F.26186\"
\n" ); document.write( "y = -23.913
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "You can check this out on a calc using the original equation
\n" ); document.write( "\"3%5E%28-28.913%29+=+4%5E%28-22.913%29\"
\n" ); document.write( " \r
