\n" ); document.write( " $\"5y%5E2%2B5y-25y-25=0\"$ ...as you can see, all terms are divisible by $\"5\"$ ; so, we will simplify it first\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"5y%5E2%2F5%2B5y%2F5-25y%2F5-25%2F5=0\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"y%5E2%2By-5y-5=0\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"y%5E2-4y-5=0\"$ ...factor completely; first write $\"-4y\"$ as $\"y-5y\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"y%5E2%2By-5y-5=0\"$ ...group\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"%28y%5E2%2By%29-%285y%2B5%29=0\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"y%28y%2B1%29-5%28y%2B1%29=0\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"%28y-5%29%28y%2B1%29=0\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "so, solutions are:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "if $\"%28y-5%29=0\"$ then $\"highlight%28y=5%29\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "if $\"%28y%2B1%29=0\"$ then $\"highlight%28y=-1%29\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "
