(y-8)(y-6)=0

Solution for (y-8)(y-6)=0 equation:

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

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

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

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

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

Solving
48 + -14y + y2 = 0

Solving for variable 'y'.
