| y | + | 2 | + | 1 | ÷ | ( | y | + | 2 | ) | = | 26 | ÷ | 5 |
| Multiply both sides of the equation by: | ( | y | + | 2 | ) |
| y | ( | y | + | 2 | ) | + | 2 | ( | y | + | 2 | ) | + | 1 | = | 26 | ÷ | 5 | × | ( | y | + | 2 | ) |
| y | y | + | y | × | 2 | + | 2 | ( | y | + | 2 | ) | + | 1 | = | 26 | ÷ | 5 | × | ( | y | + | 2 | ) |
| y | y | + | y | × | 2 | + | 2 | ( | y | + | 2 | ) | + | 1 | = | 26 | ÷ | 5 | × | y | + | 26 | ÷ | 5 | × | 2 |
| y | y | + | y | × | 2 | + | 2 | ( | y | + | 2 | ) | + | 1 | = | 26 5 | y | + | 52 5 |
| y | y | + | 2 | y | + | 2 | y | + | 2 | × | 2 | + | 1 | = | 26 5 | y | + | 52 5 |
| y | y | + | 2 | y | + | 2 | y | + | 4 | + | 1 | = | 26 5 | y | + | 52 5 |
| y | y | + | 4 | y | + | 5 | = | 26 5 | y | + | 52 5 |
| y1= | - | 9 5 |
