Solution for (m-2)(m-6)=7 equation:


Simplifying
(m + -2)(m + -6) = 7

Reorder the terms:
(-2 + m)(m + -6) = 7

Reorder the terms:
(-2 + m)(-6 + m) = 7

Multiply (-2 + m) * (-6 + m)
(-2(-6 + m) + m(-6 + m)) = 7
((-6 * -2 + m * -2) + m(-6 + m)) = 7
((12 + -2m) + m(-6 + m)) = 7
(12 + -2m + (-6 * m + m * m)) = 7
(12 + -2m + (-6m + m2)) = 7

Combine like terms: -2m + -6m = -8m
(12 + -8m + m2) = 7

Solving
12 + -8m + m2 = 7

Solving for variable 'm'.

Reorder the terms:
12 + -7 + -8m + m2 = 7 + -7

Combine like terms: 12 + -7 = 5
5 + -8m + m2 = 7 + -7

Combine like terms: 7 + -7 = 0
5 + -8m + m2 = 0

Begin completing the square.

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-5' to each side of the equation.
5 + -8m + -5 + m2 = 0 + -5

Reorder the terms:
5 + -5 + -8m + m2 = 0 + -5

Combine like terms: 5 + -5 = 0
0 + -8m + m2 = 0 + -5
-8m + m2 = 0 + -5

Combine like terms: 0 + -5 = -5
-8m + m2 = -5

The m term is -8m.  Take half its coefficient (-4).
Square it (16) and add it to both sides.

Add '16' to each side of the equation.
-8m + 16 + m2 = -5 + 16
