(y+6)(y+8)=

Solution for (y+6)(y+8)= equation:

Simplifying
(y + 6)(y + 8) = 0

Reorder the terms:
(6 + y)(y + 8) = 0

Reorder the terms:
(6 + y)(8 + y) = 0

Multiply (6 + y) * (8 + y)
(6(8 + y) + y(8 + y)) = 0
((8 * 6 + y * 6) + y(8 + y)) = 0
((48 + 6y) + y(8 + y)) = 0
(48 + 6y + (8 * y + y * y)) = 0
(48 + 6y + (8y + y2)) = 0

Combine like terms: 6y + 8y = 14y
(48 + 14y + y2) = 0

Solving
48 + 14y + y2 = 0

Solving for variable 'y'.

Factor a trinomial.
(8 + y)(6 + y) = 0

Subproblem 1
Set the factor '(8 + y)' equal to zero and attempt to solve:

Simplifying
8 + y = 0

Solving
8 + y = 0

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

Add '-8' to each side of the equation.
8 + -8 + y = 0 + -8

Combine like terms: 8 + -8 = 0
0 + y = 0 + -8
y = 0 + -8

Combine like terms: 0 + -8 = -8
y = -8

Simplifying
y = -8
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 = {-8, -6}
