Solution for 3n-4n(n-1)=16 equation:


Simplifying
3n + -4n(n + -1) = 16

Reorder the terms:
3n + -4n(-1 + n) = 16
3n + (-1 * -4n + n * -4n) = 16
3n + (4n + -4n2) = 16

Combine like terms: 3n + 4n = 7n
7n + -4n2 = 16

Solving
7n + -4n2 = 16

Solving for variable 'n'.

Reorder the terms:
-16 + 7n + -4n2 = 16 + -16

Combine like terms: 16 + -16 = 0
-16 + 7n + -4n2 = 0

Begin completing the square.  Divide all terms by
-4 the coefficient of the squared term: 

Divide each side by '-4'.
4 + -1.75n + n2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-4' to each side of the equation.
4 + -1.75n + -4 + n2 = 0 + -4

Reorder the terms:
4 + -4 + -1.75n + n2 = 0 + -4

Combine like terms: 4 + -4 = 0
0 + -1.75n + n2 = 0 + -4
-1.75n + n2 = 0 + -4

Combine like terms: 0 + -4 = -4
-1.75n + n2 = -4

The n term is -1.75n.  Take half its coefficient (-0.875).
Square it (0.765625) and add it to both sides.

Add '0.765625' to each side of the equation.
-1.75n + 0.765625 + n2 = -4 + 0.765625

Reorder the terms:
0.765625 + -1.75n + n2 = -4 + 0.765625

Combine like terms: -4 + 0.765625 = -3.234375
0.765625 + -1.75n + n2 = -3.234375

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(n + -0.875)(n + -0.875) = -3.234375

Can't calculate square root of the right side.
