(y-6)(y+4)=0

Solution for (y-6)(y+4)=0 equation:

Simplifying
(y + -6)(y + 4) = 0

Reorder the terms:
(-6 + y)(y + 4) = 0

Reorder the terms:
(-6 + y)(4 + y) = 0

Multiply (-6 + y) * (4 + y)
(-6(4 + y) + y(4 + y)) = 0
((4 * -6 + y * -6) + y(4 + y)) = 0
((-24 + -6y) + y(4 + y)) = 0
(-24 + -6y + (4 * y + y * y)) = 0
(-24 + -6y + (4y + y2)) = 0

Combine like terms: -6y + 4y = -2y
(-24 + -2y + y2) = 0

Solving
-24 + -2y + y2 = 0

Solving for variable 'y'.

Combine like terms: 6 + -6 = 0
0 + -1y = 0 + -6
-1y = 0 + -6

Combine like terms: 0 + -6 = -6
-1y = -6

Divide each side by '-1'.
y = 6

Simplifying
y = 6
Solution
y = {-4, 6}
