Solution for (4t-1)(t+5)=-21 equation:


Simplifying
(4t + -1)(t + 5) = -21

Reorder the terms:
(-1 + 4t)(t + 5) = -21

Reorder the terms:
(-1 + 4t)(5 + t) = -21

Multiply (-1 + 4t) * (5 + t)
(-1(5 + t) + 4t * (5 + t)) = -21
((5 * -1 + t * -1) + 4t * (5 + t)) = -21
((-5 + -1t) + 4t * (5 + t)) = -21
(-5 + -1t + (5 * 4t + t * 4t)) = -21
(-5 + -1t + (20t + 4t2)) = -21

Combine like terms: -1t + 20t = 19t
(-5 + 19t + 4t2) = -21

Solving
-5 + 19t + 4t2 = -21

Solving for variable 't'.

Reorder the terms:
-5 + 21 + 19t + 4t2 = -21 + 21

Combine like terms: -5 + 21 = 16
16 + 19t + 4t2 = -21 + 21

Combine like terms: -21 + 21 = 0
16 + 19t + 4t2 = 0

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

Divide each side by '4'.
4 + 4.75t + t2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-4' to each side of the equation.
4 + 4.75t + -4 + t2 = 0 + -4

Reorder the terms:
4 + -4 + 4.75t + t2 = 0 + -4

Combine like terms: 4 + -4 = 0
0 + 4.75t + t2 = 0 + -4
4.75t + t2 = 0 + -4

Combine like terms: 0 + -4 = -4
4.75t + t2 = -4

The t term is 4.75t.  Take half its coefficient (2.375).
Square it (5.640625) and add it to both sides.

Add '5.640625' to each side of the equation.
4.75t + 5.640625 + t2 = -4 + 5.640625

Reorder the terms:
5.640625 + 4.75t + t2 = -4 + 5.640625

Combine like terms: -4 + 5.640625 = 1.640625
5.640625 + 4.75t + t2 = 1.640625

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(t + 2.375)(t + 2.375) = 1.640625
