Solving equations involving fractions #151

Open jarble opened 2 years ago

jarble commented 2 years ago

Algebrite is currently unable to solve polynomial equations involving fractions, such as this one: roots(3 x + (12 + y)/x = 24)

But it finds a solution if I re-factor the equation, like this:

roots(3 x*x + 12 + y = 24*x)

Why is Algebrite able to solve the second equation, but not the first one?
