Solution for 5z(z-4)=4(z-3) equation:


Simplifying
5z(z + -4) = 4(z + -3)

Reorder the terms:
5z(-4 + z) = 4(z + -3)
(-4 * 5z + z * 5z) = 4(z + -3)
(-20z + 5z2) = 4(z + -3)

Reorder the terms:
-20z + 5z2 = 4(-3 + z)
-20z + 5z2 = (-3 * 4 + z * 4)
-20z + 5z2 = (-12 + 4z)

Solving
-20z + 5z2 = -12 + 4z

Solving for variable 'z'.

Reorder the terms:
12 + -20z + -4z + 5z2 = -12 + 4z + 12 + -4z

Combine like terms: -20z + -4z = -24z
12 + -24z + 5z2 = -12 + 4z + 12 + -4z

Reorder the terms:
12 + -24z + 5z2 = -12 + 12 + 4z + -4z

Combine like terms: -12 + 12 = 0
12 + -24z + 5z2 = 0 + 4z + -4z
12 + -24z + 5z2 = 4z + -4z

Combine like terms: 4z + -4z = 0
12 + -24z + 5z2 = 0

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

Divide each side by '5'.
2.4 + -4.8z + z2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-2.4' to each side of the equation.
2.4 + -4.8z + -2.4 + z2 = 0 + -2.4

Reorder the terms:
2.4 + -2.4 + -4.8z + z2 = 0 + -2.4

Combine like terms: 2.4 + -2.4 = 0.0
0.0 + -4.8z + z2 = 0 + -2.4
-4.8z + z2 = 0 + -2.4

Combine like terms: 0 + -2.4 = -2.4
-4.8z + z2 = -2.4

The z term is -4.8z.  Take half its coefficient (-2.4).
Square it (5.76) and add it to both sides.

Add '5.76' to each side of the equation.
-4.8z + 5.76 + z2 = -2.4 + 5.76

Reorder the terms:
5.76 + -4.8z + z2 = -2.4 + 5.76

Combine like terms: -2.4 + 5.76 = 3.36
5.76 + -4.8z + z2 = 3.36

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(z + -2.4)(z + -2.4) = 3.36

Calculate the square root of the right side: 1.833030278

Break this problem into two subproblems by setting 
(z + -2.4) equal to 1.833030278 and -1.833030278.

Subproblem 1

z + -2.4 = 1.833030278 Simplifying z + -2.4 = 1.833030278 Reorder the terms: -2.4 + z = 1.833030278 Solving -2.4 + z = 1.833030278 Solving for variable 'z'. Move all terms containing z to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '2.4' to each side of the equation. -2.4 + 2.4 + z = 1.833030278 + 2.4 Combine like terms: -2.4 + 2.4 = 0.0 0.0 + z = 1.833030278 + 2.4 z = 1.833030278 + 2.4 Combine like terms: 1.833030278 + 2.4 = 4.233030278 z = 4.233030278 Simplifying z = 4.233030278

Subproblem 2

z + -2.4 = -1.833030278 Simplifying z + -2.4 = -1.833030278 Reorder the terms: -2.4 + z = -1.833030278 Solving -2.4 + z = -1.833030278 Solving for variable 'z'. Move all terms containing z to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '2.4' to each side of the equation. -2.4 + 2.4 + z = -1.833030278 + 2.4 Combine like terms: -2.4 + 2.4 = 0.0 0.0 + z = -1.833030278 + 2.4 z = -1.833030278 + 2.4 Combine like terms: -1.833030278 + 2.4 = 0.566969722 z = 0.566969722 Simplifying z = 0.566969722
