Since we want only the <math>y</math>-variable to be present, we move the terms only with the <math>y</math>-variable to one side, thus constructing <math>8xy - 12y + 2x - 3 = 0</math> to $8xy + 2x = 12y + 3. | |||

Problem
Find the value(s) of 
such that 
is true for all values of 
.
Solution
We have 
.
As 
must be true for all , we must have 
, hence 
.
Solution 2
Since we want only the -variable to be present, we move the terms only with the -variable to one side, thus constructing to $8xy + 2x = 12y + 3.
