Solution for w(w+6)=12 equation:


Simplifying
w(w + 6) = 12

Reorder the terms:
w(6 + w) = 12
(6 * w + w * w) = 12
(6w + w2) = 12

Solving
6w + w2 = 12

Solving for variable 'w'.

Reorder the terms:
-12 + 6w + w2 = 12 + -12

Combine like terms: 12 + -12 = 0
-12 + 6w + w2 = 0

Begin completing the square.

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '12' to each side of the equation.
-12 + 6w + 12 + w2 = 0 + 12

Reorder the terms:
-12 + 12 + 6w + w2 = 0 + 12

Combine like terms: -12 + 12 = 0
0 + 6w + w2 = 0 + 12
6w + w2 = 0 + 12

Combine like terms: 0 + 12 = 12
6w + w2 = 12

The w term is 6w.  Take half its coefficient (3).
Square it (9) and add it to both sides.

Add '9' to each side of the equation.
6w + 9 + w2 = 12 + 9
