Solution for (c-15)*(c-15)=42 equation:


Simplifying
(c + -15)(c + -15) = 42

Reorder the terms:
(-15 + c)(c + -15) = 42

Reorder the terms:
(-15 + c)(-15 + c) = 42

Multiply (-15 + c) * (-15 + c)
(-15(-15 + c) + c(-15 + c)) = 42
((-15 * -15 + c * -15) + c(-15 + c)) = 42
((225 + -15c) + c(-15 + c)) = 42
(225 + -15c + (-15 * c + c * c)) = 42
(225 + -15c + (-15c + c2)) = 42

Combine like terms: -15c + -15c = -30c
(225 + -30c + c2) = 42

Solving
225 + -30c + c2 = 42

Solving for variable 'c'.

Reorder the terms:
225 + -42 + -30c + c2 = 42 + -42

Combine like terms: 225 + -42 = 183
183 + -30c + c2 = 42 + -42

Combine like terms: 42 + -42 = 0
183 + -30c + c2 = 0

Begin completing the square.

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-183' to each side of the equation.
183 + -30c + -183 + c2 = 0 + -183

Reorder the terms:
183 + -183 + -30c + c2 = 0 + -183

Combine like terms: 183 + -183 = 0
0 + -30c + c2 = 0 + -183
-30c + c2 = 0 + -183
