(y+6)(y+1)=0

Solution for (y+6)(y+1)=0 equation:

Simplifying
(y + 6)(y + 1) = 0

Reorder the terms:
(6 + y)(y + 1) = 0

Reorder the terms:
(6 + y)(1 + y) = 0

Multiply (6 + y) * (1 + y)
(6(1 + y) + y(1 + y)) = 0
((1 * 6 + y * 6) + y(1 + y)) = 0
((6 + 6y) + y(1 + y)) = 0
(6 + 6y + (1 * y + y * y)) = 0
(6 + 6y + (1y + y2)) = 0

Combine like terms: 6y + 1y = 7y
(6 + 7y + y2) = 0

Solving
6 + 7y + y2 = 0

Solving for variable 'y'.

Factor a trinomial.
(6 + y)(1 + y) = 0

Subproblem 1
Set the factor '(6 + y)' equal to zero and attempt to solve:

Simplifying
6 + y = 0

Solving
6 + y = 0

Move all terms containing y to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-6' to each side of the equation.
6 + -6 + y = 0 + -6

Combine like terms: 6 + -6 = 0
0 + y = 0 + -6
y = 0 + -6

Combine like terms: 0 + -6 = -6
y = -6

Simplifying
y = -6
Subproblem 2
Set the factor '(1 + y)' equal to zero and attempt to solve:

Simplifying
1 + y = 0

Solving
1 + y = 0

Move all terms containing y to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-1' to each side of the equation.
1 + -1 + y = 0 + -1

Combine like terms: 1 + -1 = 0
0 + y = 0 + -1
y = 0 + -1

Combine like terms: 0 + -1 = -1
y = -1

Simplifying
y = -1
Solution
y = {-6, -1}
