Thanks!

<3 TI-89

My brother got me a book of mathematical lookup tables for Christmas one year, since I was destined to go so far in math. First year of college, my girlfriend at the time swapped her TI-89 for my TI-83 since she her course was teaching exact steps for a TI-83, and I wanted a TI-89 for Calc. I havne't used that book ever since. Unfortunately, I've also forgotten some of the more rudimentary algebraic tricks -- like I know there's an expression you can multiply the top and bottom of the original equation by in order to *easily* extract the y from it -- but I can't remember the trick to figure it out
