(y+6)(y+7)=

Solution for (y+6)(y+7)= equation:

Simplifying
(y + 6)(y + 7) = 0

Reorder the terms:
(6 + y)(y + 7) = 0

Reorder the terms:
(6 + y)(7 + y) = 0

Multiply (6 + y) * (7 + y)
(6(7 + y) + y(7 + y)) = 0
((7 * 6 + y * 6) + y(7 + y)) = 0
((42 + 6y) + y(7 + y)) = 0
(42 + 6y + (7 * y + y * y)) = 0
(42 + 6y + (7y + y2)) = 0

Combine like terms: 6y + 7y = 13y
(42 + 13y + y2) = 0

Solving
42 + 13y + y2 = 0

Solving for variable 'y'.

Subproblem 1
Set the factor '(7 + y)' equal to zero and attempt to solve:

Simplifying
7 + y = 0

Solving
7 + y = 0

Move all terms containing y to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-7' to each side of the equation.
7 + -7 + y = 0 + -7

Combine like terms: 7 + -7 = 0
0 + y = 0 + -7
y = 0 + -7

Combine like terms: 0 + -7 = -7
y = -7

Simplifying
y = -7
Subproblem 2
Set the factor '(6 + y)' equal to zero and attempt to solve:

Simplifying
6 + y = 0

Solving
6 + y = 0

Move all terms containing y to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-6' to each side of the equation.
6 + -6 + y = 0 + -6

Combine like terms: 6 + -6 = 0
0 + y = 0 + -6
y = 0 + -6

Combine like terms: 0 + -6 = -6
y = -6

Simplifying
y = -6
Solution
y = {-7, -6}
