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


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

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

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

Multiply (-1 + 2y) * (-2 + y)
(-1(-2 + y) + 2y * (-2 + y)) = 6
((-2 * -1 + y * -1) + 2y * (-2 + y)) = 6
((2 + -1y) + 2y * (-2 + y)) = 6
(2 + -1y + (-2 * 2y + y * 2y)) = 6
(2 + -1y + (-4y + 2y2)) = 6

Combine like terms: -1y + -4y = -5y
(2 + -5y + 2y2) = 6

Solving
2 + -5y + 2y2 = 6

Solving for variable 'y'.

Reorder the terms:
2 + -6 + -5y + 2y2 = 6 + -6

Combine like terms: 2 + -6 = -4
-4 + -5y + 2y2 = 6 + -6

Combine like terms: 6 + -6 = 0
-4 + -5y + 2y2 = 0

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

Divide each side by '2'.
-2 + -2.5y + y2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '2' to each side of the equation.
-2 + -2.5y + 2 + y2 = 0 + 2

Reorder the terms:
-2 + 2 + -2.5y + y2 = 0 + 2

Combine like terms: -2 + 2 = 0
0 + -2.5y + y2 = 0 + 2
-2.5y + y2 = 0 + 2

Combine like terms: 0 + 2 = 2
-2.5y + y2 = 2

The y term is -2.5y.  Take half its coefficient (-1.25).
Square it (1.5625) and add it to both sides.

Add '1.5625' to each side of the equation.
-2.5y + 1.5625 + y2 = 2 + 1.5625

Reorder the terms:
1.5625 + -2.5y + y2 = 2 + 1.5625

Combine like terms: 2 + 1.5625 = 3.5625
1.5625 + -2.5y + y2 = 3.5625

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(y + -1.25)(y + -1.25) = 3.5625
