Solution for (y+2)(y+2)=-12 equation:


Simplifying
(y + 2)(y + 2) = -12

Reorder the terms:
(2 + y)(y + 2) = -12

Reorder the terms:
(2 + y)(2 + y) = -12

Multiply (2 + y) * (2 + y)
(2(2 + y) + y(2 + y)) = -12
((2 * 2 + y * 2) + y(2 + y)) = -12
((4 + 2y) + y(2 + y)) = -12
(4 + 2y + (2 * y + y * y)) = -12
(4 + 2y + (2y + y2)) = -12

Combine like terms: 2y + 2y = 4y
(4 + 4y + y2) = -12

Solving
4 + 4y + y2 = -12

Solving for variable 'y'.

Reorder the terms:
4 + 12 + 4y + y2 = -12 + 12

Combine like terms: 4 + 12 = 16
16 + 4y + y2 = -12 + 12

Combine like terms: -12 + 12 = 0
16 + 4y + y2 = 0

Begin completing the square.

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-16' to each side of the equation.
16 + 4y + -16 + y2 = 0 + -16

Reorder the terms:
16 + -16 + 4y + y2 = 0 + -16

Combine like terms: 16 + -16 = 0
0 + 4y + y2 = 0 + -16
4y + y2 = 0 + -16

Combine like terms: 0 + -16 = -16
4y + y2 = -16

The y term is 4y.  Take half its coefficient (2).
