Use the quadratic formula

vapid jasper
#

Which one?

dark adder
#

what do you mean by which one

vapid jasper
#

I forgot the formula💀

dark adder
#

where in this case x = y

vapid jasper
#

Oh yeah thank you so much

dark adder
#

ay^2 + by + c

vapid jasper
#

U still here?

#

I made a mistake in the question

dark adder
#

mhm

#

oh

vapid jasper
#

The question is y²+2y+12

#

I need to do middle term

dark adder
#

What do you mean by middle term

#

2y?

vapid jasper
#

Ye

dark adder
#

What do you need to do with it

vapid jasper
#

Y²+2y+12÷y -y-2=15

dark adder
#

wait so do you mean $\frac{y^2 + 2y + 12}{y^2 - y - 1} = 15$

Nah I meant the top part stays the same but the bottom only has y and -y-1 is in the side

dark adder
#

oh

#

so $\frac{y^2 + 2y + 12}{y} - y - 1 = 15$

vapid jasper
#

Yes

#

This is it

dark adder
#

ok so simplify it first

#

you get y + 2 + 12/y - y - 1 = 15

#

then just keep simplifying

#

y - y + 2 - 1 + 12/y = 15

#

1 + 12/y = 15

#

12/y = 14

vapid jasper
#

Thank you so much

dark adder
#

y = 12/14

#

y = 6/7
