Solution for (2y+5)(y-4)=4 equation:


Simplifying
(2y + 5)(y + -4) = 4

Reorder the terms:
(5 + 2y)(y + -4) = 4

Reorder the terms:
(5 + 2y)(-4 + y) = 4

Multiply (5 + 2y) * (-4 + y)
(5(-4 + y) + 2y * (-4 + y)) = 4
((-4 * 5 + y * 5) + 2y * (-4 + y)) = 4
((-20 + 5y) + 2y * (-4 + y)) = 4
(-20 + 5y + (-4 * 2y + y * 2y)) = 4
(-20 + 5y + (-8y + 2y2)) = 4

Combine like terms: 5y + -8y = -3y
(-20 + -3y + 2y2) = 4

Solving
-20 + -3y + 2y2 = 4

Solving for variable 'y'.

Reorder the terms:
-20 + -4 + -3y + 2y2 = 4 + -4

Combine like terms: -20 + -4 = -24
-24 + -3y + 2y2 = 4 + -4

Combine like terms: 4 + -4 = 0
-24 + -3y + 2y2 = 0

Begin completing the square.  Divide all terms by
2 the coefficient of the squared term: 

Divide each side by '2'.
-12 + -1.5y + y2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '12' to each side of the equation.
-12 + -1.5y + 12 + y2 = 0 + 12

Reorder the terms:
-12 + 12 + -1.5y + y2 = 0 + 12

Combine like terms: -12 + 12 = 0
0 + -1.5y + y2 = 0 + 12
-1.5y + y2 = 0 + 12

Combine like terms: 0 + 12 = 12
-1.5y + y2 = 12

The y term is -1.5y.  Take half its coefficient (-0.75).
Square it (0.5625) and add it to both sides.

Add '0.5625' to each side of the equation.
-1.5y + 0.5625 + y2 = 12 + 0.5625

Reorder the terms:
0.5625 + -1.5y + y2 = 12 + 0.5625

Combine like terms: 12 + 0.5625 = 12.5625
0.5625 + -1.5y + y2 = 12.5625

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(y + -0.75)(y + -0.75) = 12.5625

Calculate the square root of the right side: 3.54436172

Break this problem into two subproblems by setting 
(y + -0.75) equal to 3.54436172 and -3.54436172.

Subproblem 1

y + -0.75 = 3.54436172 Simplifying y + -0.75 = 3.54436172 Reorder the terms: -0.75 + y = 3.54436172 Solving -0.75 + y = 3.54436172 Solving for variable 'y'. Move all terms containing y to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '0.75' to each side of the equation. -0.75 + 0.75 + y = 3.54436172 + 0.75 Combine like terms: -0.75 + 0.75 = 0.00 0.00 + y = 3.54436172 + 0.75 y = 3.54436172 + 0.75 Combine like terms: 3.54436172 + 0.75 = 4.29436172 y = 4.29436172 Simplifying y = 4.29436172

Subproblem 2

y + -0.75 = -3.54436172 Simplifying y + -0.75 = -3.54436172 Reorder the terms: -0.75 + y = -3.54436172 Solving -0.75 + y = -3.54436172 Solving for variable 'y'. Move all terms containing y to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '0.75' to each side of the equation. -0.75 + 0.75 + y = -3.54436172 + 0.75 Combine like terms: -0.75 + 0.75 = 0.00 0.00 + y = -3.54436172 + 0.75 y = -3.54436172 + 0.75 Combine like terms: -3.54436172 + 0.75 = -2.79436172 y = -2.79436172 Simplifying y = -2.79436172

Solution
