You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Simple equations can be solved by \"undoing\" what was done to the variable (Y or x, or whatever).
\n" ); document.write( " $\"y\"$ was divided by $\"16\"$ , and if you multiply times $\"16\"$ you get back to $\"Y\"$ .
\n" ); document.write( "So, multiplying both sides of the equal sign times $\"16\"$ you get the solution.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"Y%2F16+=+1.2%2F0.6\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%28Y%2F16%29%2A16+=+%281.2%2F0.6%29%2A16\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"highlight%28Y=32%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "The calculation may seem complicated but
\n" ); document.write( " $\"1.2%2F0.6=12%2F6=2\"$ \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
