solve 70/y+3=10
\n" ); document.write( "-------
\n" ); document.write( "Your problem is one of the following::
\n" ); document.write( "1st:: (70/y)+3= 10
\n" ); document.write( "Subtract 3 from both sides to get:
\n" ); document.write( "(70/y) = 7
\n" ); document.write( "----
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply both sides by y/70 to get:
\n" ); document.write( "1 = 7(y/70)
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "Reduce the right side to get:
\n" ); document.write( "y/10 = 1
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply both sides by 10 to get:
\n" ); document.write( "y = 10
\n" ); document.write( "===================================
\n" ); document.write( "2nd: 70/(y+3) = 10
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply both sides by y+3 to get:
\n" ); document.write( "70 = 10(y+3)
\n" ); document.write( "Divide both sides by 10 to get:
\n" ); document.write( "7 = y+3
\n" ); document.write( "Subtract 3 from both sides to get
\n" ); document.write( "y = 4
\n" ); document.write( "=========

\n" ); document.write( "ambiguity in interpreting your problem.
