(-y+1)(-y+6)=0

Solution for (-y+1)(-y+6)=0 equation:

Simplifying
(-1y + 1)(-1y + 6) = 0

Reorder the terms:
(1 + -1y)(-1y + 6) = 0

Reorder the terms:
(1 + -1y)(6 + -1y) = 0

Multiply (1 + -1y) * (6 + -1y)
(1(6 + -1y) + -1y * (6 + -1y)) = 0
((6 * 1 + -1y * 1) + -1y * (6 + -1y)) = 0
((6 + -1y) + -1y * (6 + -1y)) = 0
(6 + -1y + (6 * -1y + -1y * -1y)) = 0
(6 + -1y + (-6y + 1y2)) = 0

Combine like terms: -1y + -6y = -7y
(6 + -7y + 1y2) = 0

Solving
6 + -7y + 1y2 = 0
