\n" ); document.write( "x = (2/3)y
\n" ); document.write( "xy = 24
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "xy = 24
\n" ); document.write( "(2/3)yy = 24
\n" ); document.write( "(2/3)yy - 24 = 0
\n" ); document.write( "(0.666666)yy - 24 = 0
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "the above quadratic equation is in standard form, with a=0.666666, b=0, and c=-24
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "to solve the quadratic equation, by using the quadratic formula, copy and paste this:
\n" ); document.write( "0.666666 0 -24

\n" ); document.write( "this quadratic has two real roots (the x-intercepts), which are:
\n" ); document.write( "y = 6
\n" ); document.write( "y = -6
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "the negative root does not fit the problem statement, so use the positive root
\n" ); document.write( "---
