%28y-5%29%2F%28y%2B3%29=%28y%2B6%29%2F%28y-2%29
by cross multiplication,
%28y-5%29%28y-2%29=%28y%2B6%29%28y%2B3%29
y%28y-2%29-5%28y-2%29=y%28y%2B3%29%2B6%28y%2B3%29
%28y%5E2-2y%29-%285y-10%29=%28y%5E2%2B3y%29%2B%286y%2B18%29
y%5E2%2B%28-2y-5y%29%2B10=y%5E2%2B%283y%2B6y%29%2B18
y%5E2-7y%2B10=y%5E2%2B9y%2B18
y%5E2-y%5E2-7y%2B10=y%5E2-y%5E2%2B9y%2B18
-7y%2B10=9y%2B18
-7y-9y%2B10=9y-9y%2B18
-16y%2B10=18
-16y=18-10
-16y=8
y=-8%2F16=-1%2F2
