SOLUTION: Solve for y X = (e^y)/(2e^y) The fraction part is confusing me. If I just see an example of the solution I think I will understand it better.

X+=+%28e%5Ey%29%2F%282e%5Ey%29
X+=+cross%28%28e%5Ey%29%29%2F%282cross%28e%5Ey%29%29
X+=+1%2F2
plug in X+=+%28e%5Ey%29%2F%282e%5Ey%29
1%2F2+=+%28e%5Ey%29%2F%282e%5Ey%29....as you can see, no matter what value you choose for y, the result will be 1%2F2 because e%5Ey%2Fe%5Ey=1 as %28e%5E%28-y%29%29%2F%28e%5E%28-y%29%29=1 as well, and if y=0 you have e%5E0%2Fe%5E0=1%2F1=1

so, y could be any value in interval (-infinity,infinity)
