Solution for (s-6)(s-22)=72 equation:


Simplifying
(s + -6)(s + -22) = 72

Reorder the terms:
(-6 + s)(s + -22) = 72

Reorder the terms:
(-6 + s)(-22 + s) = 72

Multiply (-6 + s) * (-22 + s)
(-6(-22 + s) + s(-22 + s)) = 72
((-22 * -6 + s * -6) + s(-22 + s)) = 72
((132 + -6s) + s(-22 + s)) = 72
(132 + -6s + (-22 * s + s * s)) = 72
(132 + -6s + (-22s + s2)) = 72

Combine like terms: -6s + -22s = -28s
(132 + -28s + s2) = 72

Solving
132 + -28s + s2 = 72

Solving for variable 's'.

Reorder the terms:
132 + -72 + -28s + s2 = 72 + -72

Combine like terms: 132 + -72 = 60
60 + -28s + s2 = 72 + -72

Combine like terms: 72 + -72 = 0
60 + -28s + s2 = 0

Begin completing the square.

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-60' to each side of the equation.
60 + -28s + -60 + s2 = 0 + -60

Reorder the terms:
60 + -60 + -28s + s2 = 0 + -60

Combine like terms: 60 + -60 = 0
0 + -28s + s2 = 0 + -60
-28s + s2 = 0 + -60

Combine like terms: 0 + -60 = -60
-28s + s2 = -60

The s term is -28s.  Take half its coefficient (-14).
Square it (196) and add it to both sides.

Add '196' to each side of the equation.
-28s + 196 + s2 = -60 + 196

Reorder the terms:
196 + -28s + s2 = -60 + 196

Combine like terms: -60 + 196 = 136
196 + -28s + s2 = 136

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(s + -14)(s + -14) = 136
