You can put this solution on YOUR website!
No indication of how far the radical symbol is supposed to extend so these are ambiguous.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Taking a guess what you have for (b):
\n" ); document.write( "\"sqrt%28y%29-3=y-3\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"sqrt%28y%29=y-3%2B3\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"sqrt%28y%29=y\"
\n" ); document.write( "square both sides:
\n" ); document.write( "\"y=y%5E2\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"y%5E2-y=0\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"y%28y-1%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "-
\n" ); document.write( "Either y=0 or y=1.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "If it was \"sqrt%28y-3%29=y-3\"
\n" ); document.write( "then if square both sides and simplify you should get to
\n" ); document.write( "\"y%5E2-7y%2B12=0\"
\n" ); document.write( "which is factorable and then y=3 or y=4.
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
