You can put this solution on YOUR website!
inverse of y=(x+4)/(x-4)
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Swap x and y and solve for y
\n" ); document.write( "x = \"%28y%2B4%29%2F%28y-4%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "multiply both sides by (y-4)
\n" ); document.write( "x(y-4) = y + 4
\n" ); document.write( "distribute x
\n" ); document.write( "xy - 4x = y + 4
\n" ); document.write( "add 4x to both sides, subtract y from both sides
\n" ); document.write( "xy - y = 4x + 4
\n" ); document.write( "factor out y
\n" ); document.write( "y(x-1) = 4x + 4
\n" ); document.write( "divide both sides by (x-1)
\n" ); document.write( "y = \"%284x%2B4%29%2F%28x-1%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
