SOLUTION: I am having some troubles with solving for the variable in equation {{{2(y-1)^2=4(y+1)^2}}}
What I have so far is......
2(y-1)(y-)=4(y+1)(y+1)
2(y^2-y-y-1)=4(y^2+y+y+1)
2y^2-
Question 117427: I am having some troubles with solving for the variable in equation
What I have so far is......
2(y-1)(y-)=4(y+1)(y+1)
2(y^2-y-y-1)=4(y^2+y+y+1)
2y^2-2y-y2-2=4y^2+4y+4y+4
2y^2-4y-2=4y^2+8y+4
But i can not get any further....can you please help
Thank you so much!!!! Answer by josmiceli(19441) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Subtract from both sides
Add to both sides
Subtract from both sides
divide both sides by
Now subtract from both sides
Now complete the square by taking 1/2 of the
coefficient of y, square it, and add it to both sides
Take the square root of both sides answer answer
check answer
OK
