Make (X) the subject and simplify
\n" ); document.write( "\"%28a%5E2%2Fx%5E2%29%2B+%28b%5E2%2Fy%5E2%29+=+1\"
\n" ); document.write( "multiply equation by x^2y^2, cancel the denominators
\n" ); document.write( "a^2y^2 + b^2x^2 = x^2y^2
\n" ); document.write( "subtract b^2x^2 from both sides
\n" ); document.write( "a^2y^2 = x^2y^2 - b^2x^2
\n" ); document.write( "factor out x^2
\n" ); document.write( "a^2y^2 = x^2(y^2 - b^2)
\n" ); document.write( "Divide both sides by (y^2-b^2)
\n" ); document.write( "\"%28%28a%5E2y%5E2%29%29%2F%28%28y%5E2+-+b%5E2%29%29\" = x^2
\n" ); document.write( "find the square root of both sides and the answer is:
\n" ); document.write( "x = \"sqrt%28%28a%5E2y%5E2%29%2F%28y%5E2+-+b%5E2%29%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "
