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

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

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

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

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

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

Solving
6 + 11y + -2y2 = 0

Solving for variable 'y'.
