Solution for (r-2)(r+6)=-4 equation:


Simplifying
(r + -2)(r + 6) = -4

Reorder the terms:
(-2 + r)(r + 6) = -4

Reorder the terms:
(-2 + r)(6 + r) = -4

Multiply (-2 + r) * (6 + r)
(-2(6 + r) + r(6 + r)) = -4
((6 * -2 + r * -2) + r(6 + r)) = -4
((-12 + -2r) + r(6 + r)) = -4
(-12 + -2r + (6 * r + r * r)) = -4
(-12 + -2r + (6r + r2)) = -4

Combine like terms: -2r + 6r = 4r
(-12 + 4r + r2) = -4

Solving
-12 + 4r + r2 = -4

Solving for variable 'r'.

Reorder the terms:
-12 + 4 + 4r + r2 = -4 + 4

Combine like terms: -12 + 4 = -8
-8 + 4r + r2 = -4 + 4

Combine like terms: -4 + 4 = 0
-8 + 4r + r2 = 0

Begin completing the square.

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '8' to each side of the equation.
-8 + 4r + 8 + r2 = 0 + 8

Reorder the terms:
-8 + 8 + 4r + r2 = 0 + 8

Combine like terms: -8 + 8 = 0
0 + 4r + r2 = 0 + 8
4r + r2 = 0 + 8
