6%2F%28y%2B5%29-8%2F%28y-5%29=12%2F%28y%5E2-25%29+
6%2F%28y%2B5%29-8%2F%28y-5%29=12%2F%28y%5E2-5%5E2%29+
6%2F%28y%2B5%29-8%2F%28y-5%29=12%2F%28%28y-5%29%28x%2B5%29%29+
%286%28y-5%29-8%28y%2B5%29%29%2F%28%28y-5%29%28y%2B5%29%29=12%2F%28%28y-5%29%28x%2B5%29%29+......if denominators same, numerators must be same too
6%28y-5%29-8%28y%2B5%29=12.......solve for y
6y-30-8y-40=12
-70-2y=12
-70-12=2y
-82=2y
y=-41

Solve for Y
Solve for Y <======= s/b Solve for y, as Y IS NOT the same as Y

matrix%281%2C3%2C+6%2F%28y+%2B+5%29+-+8%2F%28y+-+5%29%2C+%22=%22%2C+12%2F%28y%5E2+-+25%29%29

 ---- Factoring denominator on right. Note that: matrix%281%2C3%2C+x+%3C%3E+-+5%2C+and%2C+x+%3C%3E+5%29

6(y - 5) - 8(y + 5) = 12 -------- Multiplying by LCD, (y + 5)(y - 5)

6y - 30 - 8y - 40 = 12

- 2y = 82
