4y%5E2-11y=3 Start with the given equation


4y%5E2-11y-3=0 Subtract 3 from both sides.


%28y-3%29%284y%2B1%29=0 Factor the left side (note: if you need help with factoring, check out this solver)



Now set each factor equal to zero:
y-3=0 or 4y%2B1=0

y=3 or y=-1%2F4 Now solve for y in each case


So our answers are

y=3 or y=-1%2F4
