Solution for (y+5)(y-7)=20 equation:


Simplifying
(y + 5)(y + -7) = 20

Reorder the terms:
(5 + y)(y + -7) = 20

Reorder the terms:
(5 + y)(-7 + y) = 20

Multiply (5 + y) * (-7 + y)
(5(-7 + y) + y(-7 + y)) = 20
((-7 * 5 + y * 5) + y(-7 + y)) = 20
((-35 + 5y) + y(-7 + y)) = 20
(-35 + 5y + (-7 * y + y * y)) = 20
(-35 + 5y + (-7y + y2)) = 20

Combine like terms: 5y + -7y = -2y
(-35 + -2y + y2) = 20

Solving
-35 + -2y + y2 = 20

Solving for variable 'y'.

Reorder the terms:
-35 + -20 + -2y + y2 = 20 + -20

Combine like terms: -35 + -20 = -55
-55 + -2y + y2 = 20 + -20

Combine like terms: 20 + -20 = 0
-55 + -2y + y2 = 0

Begin completing the square.

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '55' to each side of the equation.
-55 + -2y + 55 + y2 = 0 + 55

Reorder the terms:
-55 + 55 + -2y + y2 = 0 + 55

Combine like terms: -55 + 55 = 0
0 + -2y + y2 = 0 + 55
-2y + y2 = 0 + 55

Combine like terms: 0 + 55 = 55
-2y + y2 = 55

The y term is -2y.  Take half its coefficient (-1).
