(2y+1)(6-y)=0

Solution for (2y+1)(6-y)=0 equation:

Simplifying
(2y + 1)(6 + -1y) = 0

Reorder the terms:
(1 + 2y)(6 + -1y) = 0

Multiply (1 + 2y) * (6 + -1y)
(1(6 + -1y) + 2y * (6 + -1y)) = 0
((6 * 1 + -1y * 1) + 2y * (6 + -1y)) = 0
((6 + -1y) + 2y * (6 + -1y)) = 0
(6 + -1y + (6 * 2y + -1y * 2y)) = 0
(6 + -1y + (12y + -2y2)) = 0

Combine like terms: -1y + 12y = 11y
(6 + 11y + -2y2) = 0

Solving
6 + 11y + -2y2 = 0

Solving for variable 'y'.

Factor a trinomial.

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 = {6, -0.5}
