It's easier to work with integers than decimals. Therefore, let's convert all the decimal-coefficients by multiplying entire equation by 20.
\n" ); document.write( "\"matrix%281%2C3%2C+20%284.6y%5E2+%2B+3.5x+-+1.75%29%2C+%22=%22%2C+20%280%29%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"matrix%281%2C3%2C+92x%5E2+%2B+70x+-+35%2C+%22=%22%2C+0%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"matrix%281%2C3%2C+92x%5E2%2F92+%2B+%2870%2F92%29x+-+35%2F92%2C+%22=%22%2C+0%2F92%29\" ------- Dividing entire equation by 92 in order to get a leading coefficient of + 1
\n" ); document.write( "\"matrix%281%2C3%2C+x%5E2+%2B+%2870%2F92%29x+-+35%2F92%2C+%22=%22%2C+0%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"matrix%281%2C3%2C+x%5E2+%2B+%2870%2F92%29x%2C+%22=%22%2C+35%2F92%29\" ------- Adding \"35%2F92\" to get the constant on the right-side
\n" ); document.write( " ------- Taking \"1%2F2\" the value of \"b,\" squaring it, and then adding the result to both sides
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\"matrix%281%2C3%2C+%28x+%2B+35%2F92%29%5E2%2C+%22=%22%2C+35%2F92+%2B+%2835%2F92%29%5E2%29\"
\n" ); document.write( " ------- Taking square root of both sides
\n" ); document.write( "
