thirteen is equal to two plus six T. Hope this can help. Have a wonderful day. : )
(6y - 11)(6y + 11) = ay
² - b |use (a - b)(a + b) = a² - b²
(6y)² - 11² =ay² - b
36y² - 121 = ay² - b |add b to both sides
ay² = 36y² - 121 + b |divide both sides by y² ≠ 0
a = (36y² - 121 + b)/y²

The error was done in Step E, because student did not multiply
by the negative sign in numerator. The real numerator in Step E should be:

Hence, Step E must be
.
