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 = -16
-16 + 4r + r2 = 4 + -4

Combine like terms: 4 + -4 = 0
-16 + 4r + r2 = 0

Begin completing the square.

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '16' to each side of the equation.
-16 + 4r + 16 + r2 = 0 + 16

Reorder the terms:
-16 + 16 + 4r + r2 = 0 + 16

Combine like terms: -16 + 16 = 0
0 + 4r + r2 = 0 + 16
4r + r2 = 0 + 16

Combine like terms: 0 + 16 = 16
4r + r2 = 16

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