\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "You would get the \"y\" term on \"one\" \"side\" of your equation, then divide as necessary to get only \"y\", like for example this:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "if you are given\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"+2x+%2B+4y+=+17\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " Subtract \"2x\" from both sides, to get:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \"4y+=+-2x+%2B+17\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " Divide both sides by \"4\" to get:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \"y+=+%28-1%2F2%29x+%2B+17%2F4\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " Your equation is now in \"y=mx+%2B+b\" form, where \"m+=+-1%2F2\" and \"b+=+17%2F4\".\r
