Let $\"A=x%2Fy\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"A%2B1%2FA=17%2F4\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"A%5E2%2B1=%2817%2F4%29A\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"4A2%2B4=17A\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"4A%5E2-17A%2B4=0\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%284A-4%29%28A-1%29=0\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Two solutions:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"4A-1=0\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"4A=1\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"A=1%2F4\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x%2Fy=1%2F4\"$
\n" ); document.write( "and
\n" ); document.write( " $\"A-1=0\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"A=1\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x%2Fy=1\"$
