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


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

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

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

Multiply (-4 + y) * (4 + y)
(-4(4 + y) + y(4 + y)) = 2y
((4 * -4 + y * -4) + y(4 + y)) = 2y
((-16 + -4y) + y(4 + y)) = 2y
(-16 + -4y + (4 * y + y * y)) = 2y
(-16 + -4y + (4y + y2)) = 2y

Combine like terms: -4y + 4y = 0
(-16 + 0 + y2) = 2y
(-16 + y2) = 2y

Solving
-16 + y2 = 2y

Solving for variable 'y'.

Reorder the terms:
-16 + -2y + y2 = 2y + -2y

Combine like terms: 2y + -2y = 0
-16 + -2y + y2 = 0

Begin completing the square.

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '16' to each side of the equation.
-16 + -2y + 16 + y2 = 0 + 16

Reorder the terms:
-16 + 16 + -2y + y2 = 0 + 16

Combine like terms: -16 + 16 = 0
0 + -2y + y2 = 0 + 16
-2y + y2 = 0 + 16

Combine like terms: 0 + 16 = 16
-2y + y2 = 16

The y term is -2y.  Take half its coefficient (-1).
Square it (1) and add it to both sides.

Add '1' to each side of the equation.
-2y + 1 + y2 = 16 + 1
