You can put this solution on YOUR website!
:
y=xz%2F%28x%2Bz%29
:
Mult equation by (x+z), gets rid of the denominator and you have:
y(x + z) = xz
:
yx + yz = xz
:
Subtract xz and yz from both sides and you have:
yx - xz = - yz
:
Factor out x
x(y - z) = -yz
:
Divide both sides by (y-z) and you have:
:
x+=+-+%28yz%29%2F%28y-z%29
