Solution for 5y-y*y=12 equation:


Simplifying
5y + -1y * y = 12

Multiply y * y
5y + -1y2 = 12

Solving
5y + -1y2 = 12

Solving for variable 'y'.

Reorder the terms:
-12 + 5y + -1y2 = 12 + -12

Combine like terms: 12 + -12 = 0
-12 + 5y + -1y2 = 0

Begin completing the square.  Divide all terms by
-1 the coefficient of the squared term: 

Divide each side by '-1'.
12 + -5y + y2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-12' to each side of the equation.
12 + -5y + -12 + y2 = 0 + -12

Reorder the terms:
12 + -12 + -5y + y2 = 0 + -12

Combine like terms: 12 + -12 = 0
0 + -5y + y2 = 0 + -12
-5y + y2 = 0 + -12

Combine like terms: 0 + -12 = -12
-5y + y2 = -12

The y term is -5y.  Take half its coefficient (-2.5).
Square it (6.25) and add it to both sides.

Add '6.25' to each side of the equation.
-5y + 6.25 + y2 = -12 + 6.25

Reorder the terms:
6.25 + -5y + y2 = -12 + 6.25

Combine like terms: -12 + 6.25 = -5.75
6.25 + -5y + y2 = -5.75

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(y + -2.5)(y + -2.5) = -5.75

Can't calculate square root of the right side.

The solution to this equation could not be determined.
