Solution for (r+-4)(r+18)=-41 equation:


Simplifying
(r + -4)(r + 18) = -41

Reorder the terms:
(-4 + r)(r + 18) = -41

Reorder the terms:
(-4 + r)(18 + r) = -41

Multiply (-4 + r) * (18 + r)
(-4(18 + r) + r(18 + r)) = -41
((18 * -4 + r * -4) + r(18 + r)) = -41
((-72 + -4r) + r(18 + r)) = -41
(-72 + -4r + (18 * r + r * r)) = -41
(-72 + -4r + (18r + r2)) = -41

Combine like terms: -4r + 18r = 14r
(-72 + 14r + r2) = -41

Solving
-72 + 14r + r2 = -41

Solving for variable 'r'.

Reorder the terms:
-72 + 41 + 14r + r2 = -41 + 41

Combine like terms: -72 + 41 = -31
-31 + 14r + r2 = -41 + 41

Combine like terms: -41 + 41 = 0
-31 + 14r + r2 = 0

Begin completing the square.

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '31' to each side of the equation.
-31 + 14r + 31 + r2 = 0 + 31

Reorder the terms:
-31 + 31 + 14r + r2 = 0 + 31

Combine like terms: -31 + 31 = 0
0 + 14r + r2 = 0 + 31
14r + r2 = 0 + 31

Combine like terms: 0 + 31 = 31
14r + r2 = 31

The r term is 14r.  Take half its coefficient (7).
