+%282q%29%2F%282q%2B3%29-%282q%29%2F%282q-3%29=1
%282q%29%282q-3%29-%282q%29%282q%2B3%29=%282q-3%29%282q%2B3%29
%282q%29%282q-3-2q-3%29=%282q-3%29%282q%2B3%29
%282q%29%28-6%29=4q%5E2-9
-12q=4q%5E2-9
4q%5E2%2B12q-9=0
Use the quadratic formula,
q+=+%28-b+%2B-+sqrt%28+b%5E2-4%2Aa%2Ac+%29%29%2F%282%2Aa%29+
q+=+%28-12+%2B-+sqrt%28+12%5E2-4%2A4%2A%28-9%29+%29%29%2F%282%2A4%29+
q+=+%28-12+%2B-+sqrt%28+144%2B144%29%29%2F%288%29+
q+=+%28-12+%2B-+sqrt%28+2%28144%29%29%29%2F%288%29+
