Solution for (y-2)(y-4)=0 equation:


Simplifying
(y + -2)(y + -4) = 0

Reorder the terms:
(-2 + y)(y + -4) = 0

Reorder the terms:
(-2 + y)(-4 + y) = 0

Multiply (-2 + y) * (-4 + y)
(-2(-4 + y) + y(-4 + y)) = 0
((-4 * -2 + y * -2) + y(-4 + y)) = 0
((8 + -2y) + y(-4 + y)) = 0
(8 + -2y + (-4 * y + y * y)) = 0
(8 + -2y + (-4y + y2)) = 0

Combine like terms: -2y + -4y = -6y
(8 + -6y + y2) = 0

Solving
8 + -6y + y2 = 0

Solving for variable 'y'.
