Solution for (r-4)(r+12)=-37 equation:


Simplifying
(r + -4)(r + 12) = -37

Reorder the terms:
(-4 + r)(r + 12) = -37

Reorder the terms:
(-4 + r)(12 + r) = -37

Multiply (-4 + r) * (12 + r)
(-4(12 + r) + r(12 + r)) = -37
((12 * -4 + r * -4) + r(12 + r)) = -37
((-48 + -4r) + r(12 + r)) = -37
(-48 + -4r + (12 * r + r * r)) = -37
(-48 + -4r + (12r + r2)) = -37

Combine like terms: -4r + 12r = 8r
(-48 + 8r + r2) = -37

Solving
-48 + 8r + r2 = -37

Solving for variable 'r'.

Reorder the terms:
-48 + 37 + 8r + r2 = -37 + 37

Combine like terms: -48 + 37 = -11
-11 + 8r + r2 = -37 + 37

Combine like terms: -37 + 37 = 0
-11 + 8r + r2 = 0

Begin completing the square.

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '11' to each side of the equation.
-11 + 8r + 11 + r2 = 0 + 11

Reorder the terms:
-11 + 11 + 8r + r2 = 0 + 11

Combine like terms: -11 + 11 = 0
0 + 8r + r2 = 0 + 11
8r + r2 = 0 + 11

Combine like terms: 0 + 11 = 11
8r + r2 = 11

The r term is 8r.  Take half its coefficient (4).
Square it (16) and add it to both sides.

Add '16' to each side of the equation.
8r + 16 + r2 = 11 + 16

Reorder the terms:
16 + 8r + r2 = 11 + 16

Combine like terms: 11 + 16 = 27
16 + 8r + r2 = 27
