You can put this solution on YOUR website!
y^2 - 5y = -4
\n" ); document.write( "adding 4 to both sides:
\n" ); document.write( "y^2 - 5y + 4 = 0
\n" ); document.write( "factoring the left:
\n" ); document.write( "(y-1)(y-4) = 0
\n" ); document.write( "setting each term to zero, we get our solution:
\n" ); document.write( "y = {1,4}
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
