(-y+4)(2y-1)=

Solution for (-y+4)(2y-1)= equation:

Simplifying
(-1y + 4)(2y + -1) = 0

Reorder the terms:
(4 + -1y)(2y + -1) = 0

Reorder the terms:
(4 + -1y)(-1 + 2y) = 0

Multiply (4 + -1y) * (-1 + 2y)
(4(-1 + 2y) + -1y * (-1 + 2y)) = 0
((-1 * 4 + 2y * 4) + -1y * (-1 + 2y)) = 0
((-4 + 8y) + -1y * (-1 + 2y)) = 0
(-4 + 8y + (-1 * -1y + 2y * -1y)) = 0
(-4 + 8y + (1y + -2y2)) = 0

Combine like terms: 8y + 1y = 9y
(-4 + 9y + -2y2) = 0

Solving
-4 + 9y + -2y2 = 0

Solving for variable 'y'.

Factor a trinomial.

Subproblem 2
Set the factor '(1 + -2y)' equal to zero and attempt to solve:

Simplifying
1 + -2y = 0

Solving
1 + -2y = 0

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

Add '-1' to each side of the equation.
1 + -1 + -2y = 0 + -1

Combine like terms: 1 + -1 = 0
0 + -2y = 0 + -1
-2y = 0 + -1

Combine like terms: 0 + -1 = -1
-2y = -1

Divide each side by '-2'.
y = 0.5

Simplifying
y = 0.5
Solution
y = {4, 0.5}
