(y-5)(y-3)=

Solution for (y-5)(y-3)= equation:

Simplifying
(y + -5)(y + -3) = 0

Reorder the terms:
(-5 + y)(y + -3) = 0

Reorder the terms:
(-5 + y)(-3 + y) = 0

Multiply (-5 + y) * (-3 + y)
(-5(-3 + y) + y(-3 + y)) = 0
((-3 * -5 + y * -5) + y(-3 + y)) = 0
((15 + -5y) + y(-3 + y)) = 0
(15 + -5y + (-3 * y + y * y)) = 0
(15 + -5y + (-3y + y2)) = 0

Combine like terms: -5y + -3y = -8y
(15 + -8y + y2) = 0

Solving
15 + -8y + y2 = 0

Solving for variable 'y'.

Simplifying
5 + -1y = 0

Solving
5 + -1y = 0

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

Add '-5' to each side of the equation.
5 + -5 + -1y = 0 + -5

Combine like terms: 5 + -5 = 0
0 + -1y = 0 + -5
-1y = 0 + -5

Combine like terms: 0 + -5 = -5
-1y = -5

Divide each side by '-1'.
y = 5

Simplifying
y = 5
Solution
y = {3, 5}
