(n-2)(n+6)=-15

Solution for (n-2)(n+6)=-15 equation:

Simplifying
(n + -2)(n + 6) = -15

Reorder the terms:
(-2 + n)(n + 6) = -15

Reorder the terms:
(-2 + n)(6 + n) = -15

Multiply (-2 + n) * (6 + n)
(-2(6 + n) + n(6 + n)) = -15
((6 * -2 + n * -2) + n(6 + n)) = -15
((-12 + -2n) + n(6 + n)) = -15
(-12 + -2n + (6 * n + n * n)) = -15
(-12 + -2n + (6n + n2)) = -15

Combine like terms: -2n + 6n = 4n
(-12 + 4n + n2) = -15

Solving
-12 + 4n + n2 = -15

Solving for variable 'n'.

Reorder the terms:
-12 + 15 + 4n + n2 = -15 + 15
