Solution for (r-2)(r+8)=20 equation:


Simplifying
(r + -2)(r + 8) = 20

Reorder the terms:
(-2 + r)(r + 8) = 20

Reorder the terms:
(-2 + r)(8 + r) = 20

Multiply (-2 + r) * (8 + r)
(-2(8 + r) + r(8 + r)) = 20
((8 * -2 + r * -2) + r(8 + r)) = 20
((-16 + -2r) + r(8 + r)) = 20
(-16 + -2r + (8 * r + r * r)) = 20
(-16 + -2r + (8r + r2)) = 20

Combine like terms: -2r + 8r = 6r
(-16 + 6r + r2) = 20

Solving
-16 + 6r + r2 = 20

Solving for variable 'r'.

Reorder the terms:
-16 + -20 + 6r + r2 = 20 + -20

Combine like terms: -16 + -20 = -36
-36 + 6r + r2 = 20 + -20

Combine like terms: 20 + -20 = 0
-36 + 6r + r2 = 0

Begin completing the square.

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '36' to each side of the equation.
-36 + 6r + 36 + r2 = 0 + 36

Reorder the terms:
-36 + 36 + 6r + r2 = 0 + 36

Combine like terms: -36 + 36 = 0
0 + 6r + r2 = 0 + 36
6r + r2 = 0 + 36

Combine like terms: 0 + 36 = 36
6r + r2 = 36

The r term is 6r.  Take half its coefficient (3).
Square it (9) and add it to both sides.

Add '9' to each side of the equation.
6r + 9 + r2 = 36 + 9

Reorder the terms:
9 + 6r + r2 = 36 + 9

Combine like terms: 36 + 9 = 45
9 + 6r + r2 = 45

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(r + 3)(r + 3) = 45

Calculate the square root of the right side: 6.708203933

Break this problem into two subproblems by setting 
(r + 3) equal to 6.708203933 and -6.708203933.

Subproblem 1

r + 3 = 6.708203933 Simplifying r + 3 = 6.708203933 Reorder the terms: 3 + r = 6.708203933 Solving 3 + r = 6.708203933 Solving for variable 'r'. Move all terms containing r to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-3' to each side of the equation. 3 + -3 + r = 6.708203933 + -3 Combine like terms: 3 + -3 = 0 0 + r = 6.708203933 + -3 r = 6.708203933 + -3 Combine like terms: 6.708203933 + -3 = 3.708203933 r = 3.708203933 Simplifying r = 3.708203933
