Solution for (r-4)(r+18)=-41 equation:


Simplifying
(r + -4)(r + 18) = -41

Reorder the terms:
(-4 + r)(r + 18) = -41

Reorder the terms:
(-4 + r)(18 + r) = -41

Multiply (-4 + r) * (18 + r)
(-4(18 + r) + r(18 + r)) = -41
((18 * -4 + r * -4) + r(18 + r)) = -41
((-72 + -4r) + r(18 + r)) = -41
(-72 + -4r + (18 * r + r * r)) = -41
(-72 + -4r + (18r + r2)) = -41

Combine like terms: -4r + 18r = 14r
(-72 + 14r + r2) = -41

Solving
-72 + 14r + r2 = -41

Solving for variable 'r'.

Reorder the terms:
-72 + 41 + 14r + r2 = -41 + 41

Combine like terms: -72 + 41 = -31
-31 + 14r + r2 = -41 + 41

Combine like terms: -41 + 41 = 0
-31 + 14r + r2 = 0

Begin completing the square.

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '31' to each side of the equation.
-31 + 14r + 31 + r2 = 0 + 31

Reorder the terms:
-31 + 31 + 14r + r2 = 0 + 31

Combine like terms: -31 + 31 = 0
0 + 14r + r2 = 0 + 31
14r + r2 = 0 + 31

Combine like terms: 0 + 31 = 31
14r + r2 = 31

The r term is 14r.  Take half its coefficient (7).
Square it (49) and add it to both sides.

Break this problem into two subproblems by setting 
(r + 7) equal to 8.94427191 and -8.94427191.

Subproblem 1

r + 7 = 8.94427191 Simplifying r + 7 = 8.94427191 Reorder the terms: 7 + r = 8.94427191 Solving 7 + r = 8.94427191 Solving for variable 'r'. Move all terms containing r to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-7' to each side of the equation. 7 + -7 + r = 8.94427191 + -7 Combine like terms: 7 + -7 = 0 0 + r = 8.94427191 + -7 r = 8.94427191 + -7 Combine like terms: 8.94427191 + -7 = 1.94427191 r = 1.94427191 Simplifying r = 1.94427191

Subproblem 2

r + 7 = -8.94427191 Simplifying r + 7 = -8.94427191 Reorder the terms: 7 + r = -8.94427191 Solving 7 + r = -8.94427191 Solving for variable 'r'. Move all terms containing r to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-7' to each side of the equation. 7 + -7 + r = -8.94427191 + -7 Combine like terms: 7 + -7 = 0 0 + r = -8.94427191 + -7 r = -8.94427191 + -7 Combine like terms: -8.94427191 + -7 = -15.94427191 r = -15.94427191 Simplifying r = -15.94427191

Solution
