Solution for (r-2)(r+6)=11 equation:


Simplifying
(r + -2)(r + 6) = 11

Reorder the terms:
(-2 + r)(r + 6) = 11

Reorder the terms:
(-2 + r)(6 + r) = 11

Multiply (-2 + r) * (6 + r)
(-2(6 + r) + r(6 + r)) = 11
((6 * -2 + r * -2) + r(6 + r)) = 11
((-12 + -2r) + r(6 + r)) = 11
(-12 + -2r + (6 * r + r * r)) = 11
(-12 + -2r + (6r + r2)) = 11

Combine like terms: -2r + 6r = 4r
(-12 + 4r + r2) = 11

Solving
-12 + 4r + r2 = 11

Solving for variable 'r'.

Reorder the terms:
-12 + -11 + 4r + r2 = 11 + -11

Combine like terms: -12 + -11 = -23
-23 + 4r + r2 = 11 + -11

Combine like terms: 11 + -11 = 0
-23 + 4r + r2 = 0

Begin completing the square.

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '23' to each side of the equation.
-23 + 4r + 23 + r2 = 0 + 23

Reorder the terms:
-23 + 23 + 4r + r2 = 0 + 23

Combine like terms: -23 + 23 = 0
0 + 4r + r2 = 0 + 23
4r + r2 = 0 + 23

Combine like terms: 0 + 23 = 23
4r + r2 = 23

The r term is 4r.  Take half its coefficient (2).
Square it (4) and add it to both sides.

Add '4' to each side of the equation.
4r + 4 + r2 = 23 + 4

Reorder the terms:
4 + 4r + r2 = 23 + 4

Combine like terms: 23 + 4 = 27
4 + 4r + r2 = 27

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(r + 2)(r + 2) = 27
