Solution for (n+4)(n-8)=42 equation:


Simplifying
(n + 4)(n + -8) = 42

Reorder the terms:
(4 + n)(n + -8) = 42

Reorder the terms:
(4 + n)(-8 + n) = 42

Multiply (4 + n) * (-8 + n)
(4(-8 + n) + n(-8 + n)) = 42
((-8 * 4 + n * 4) + n(-8 + n)) = 42
((-32 + 4n) + n(-8 + n)) = 42
(-32 + 4n + (-8 * n + n * n)) = 42
(-32 + 4n + (-8n + n2)) = 42

Combine like terms: 4n + -8n = -4n
(-32 + -4n + n2) = 42

Solving
-32 + -4n + n2 = 42

Solving for variable 'n'.

Reorder the terms:
-32 + -42 + -4n + n2 = 42 + -42

Combine like terms: -32 + -42 = -74
-74 + -4n + n2 = 42 + -42

Combine like terms: 42 + -42 = 0
-74 + -4n + n2 = 0

Begin completing the square.

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '74' to each side of the equation.
-74 + -4n + 74 + n2 = 0 + 74

Reorder the terms:
-74 + 74 + -4n + n2 = 0 + 74

Combine like terms: -74 + 74 = 0
0 + -4n + n2 = 0 + 74
-4n + n2 = 0 + 74

Combine like terms: 0 + 74 = 74
-4n + n2 = 74

The n term is -4n.  Take half its coefficient (-2).
