You can put this solution on YOUR website!
1%2F%2816%2Ax%5E4%2Ay%5E2%29-11%2F%284%2Ax%2Ay%29
what you sent is not an equation,
so I do't know what to do with it,
but if it's equal to zero, and you
want to simplify it, I'll try
1%2F%2816%2Ax%5E4%2Ay%5E2%29-11%2F%284%2Ax%2Ay%29+=+0
1%2F%2816%2A%28x%5E4%29%2Ay%5E2%29+=+11%2F%284%2Ax%2Ay%29
multiply both sides by 16%28x%5E4%29%2Ay%5E2
1+=+11%2A%28%284x%5E3%29%2Ay%29
%2844x%5E3%29%2Ay+=+1
y+=+1+%2F+44x%5E3
