You can use +formula+ notation to insert nice looking formulas into the text of your solution. Example: x+=+%28-b+%2B-+sqrt%28+b%5E2-4%2Aa%2Ac+%29%29%2F%282%2Aa%29+ would result in this formula: . Create a graph by saying +graph%28+300%2C+200%2C+-6%2C+5%2C+-10%2C+10%2C+x-2%2C+x%5E2%2F10-x%29+ (graph 300x200 pixels, x from -6 to 5, y from -10 to 10, of TWO functions x^2 and x^2/10-x).

Use the common denominator x%2B2,
%28-6%29%2F%28x%2B2%29=%283x%29%2F%28x%2B2%29%2B1
.
.
%28-6%29%2F%28x%2B2%29=%283x%29%2F%28x%2B2%29%2B%28x%2B2%29%2F%28x%2B2%29
.
.
%28-6%29%2F%28x%2B2%29=%283x%2Bx%2B2%29%2F%28x%2B2%29
.
.
%28-6%29%2F%28x%2B2%29=%284x%2B2%29%2F%28x%2B2%29
.
.
%284x%2B2%2B6%29%2F%28x%2B2%29=0
.
.
%284x%2B8%29%2F%28x%2B2%29=0
.
.
%284%28x%2B2%29%29%2F%28x%2B2%29=0
.
.
4=0
Since the equation leads to an inconsistency, there is no solution.
