Solution for (r-4)(r+14)=-1 equation:


Simplifying
(r + -4)(r + 14) = -1

Reorder the terms:
(-4 + r)(r + 14) = -1

Reorder the terms:
(-4 + r)(14 + r) = -1

Multiply (-4 + r) * (14 + r)
(-4(14 + r) + r(14 + r)) = -1
((14 * -4 + r * -4) + r(14 + r)) = -1
((-56 + -4r) + r(14 + r)) = -1
(-56 + -4r + (14 * r + r * r)) = -1
(-56 + -4r + (14r + r2)) = -1

Combine like terms: -4r + 14r = 10r
(-56 + 10r + r2) = -1

Solving
-56 + 10r + r2 = -1

Solving for variable 'r'.

Reorder the terms:
-56 + 1 + 10r + r2 = -1 + 1

Combine like terms: -56 + 1 = -55
-55 + 10r + r2 = -1 + 1

Combine like terms: -1 + 1 = 0
-55 + 10r + r2 = 0

Begin completing the square.

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '55' to each side of the equation.
-55 + 10r + 55 + r2 = 0 + 55

Reorder the terms:
-55 + 55 + 10r + r2 = 0 + 55

Combine like terms: -55 + 55 = 0
0 + 10r + r2 = 0 + 55
10r + r2 = 0 + 55

Combine like terms: 0 + 55 = 55
10r + r2 = 55

The r term is 10r.  Take half its coefficient (5).
Square it (25) and add it to both sides.

Add '25' to each side of the equation.
10r + 25 + r2 = 55 + 25

Reorder the terms:
25 + 10r + r2 = 55 + 25

Combine like terms: 55 + 25 = 80
25 + 10r + r2 = 80
