Y^2-14y=0 solve the quadratic equation with steps

Solving y²-14y=0 by splitting the middle

We want to make sure that we have no y² coefficient and put any constants on the right side. Check.

Now, take half of the y coefficient, (half of -14 would be -7) square it, (-7² = 49) and add it to both sides.



Factor the left side. (Since the method we're using sets up a perfect square trinomial, it's going to be (y+half of the y coefficient)².



Take the square root of each side.
