Not sure what I am doing wrong with the following equation:
\n" ); document.write( "3y+7/y^2-5y+6. Subtract 3/y-3
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "this is not an equation, you have no equal sign, you are subtracting
\n" ); document.write( "one expression from another
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%283y%2B7%29%2F%28y%5E2-5y%2B6%29\"$ - $\"3%2F%28y-3%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Factor the 1st denominator,
\n" ); document.write( "As you said, the common denominator is (y-3)(y-2)
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%283y%2B7%29%2F%28%28y-3%29%28y-2%29%29\"$ - $\"3%2F%28y-3%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Write as a single fraction
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%28%283y%2B7%29-3%28y-2%29%29%2F%28%28y-3%29%28y-2%29%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Remove brackets, combine like terms
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%28%283y+%2B+7-+3y+%2B+6%29%29%2F%28%28y-3%29%28y-2%29%29\"$ = $\"13%2F%28%28y-3%29%28y-2%29%29\"$ \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
