Answer:
Here you go mate.
Step-by-step explanation:
2y² - 5y - 25 is a quadratic equation and so will have two solutions.
2y² - 5y - 25 = 0
2y² - 10y + 5y - 25 = 0 ( ∵ -5y = - 10y + 5y )
Take the common terms in common :
2y ( y - 5 ) + 5 ( y - 5 ) = 0
Again take common terms in common :
( 2y + 5 )( y - 5 ) = 0
Zero can only be obtained when a number is multiplied by zero and will not be obtained when multiplied with another number.
As 2y + 5 and y - 5 gives zero when multiplied either 2y + 5 or y - 5 is equal to zero.
When 2y + 5 is zero :
2y + 5 = 0
2y = -5
y = -5/2 or -2.5
When y - 5 is zero:
y - 5 = 0
y = 5
Answer : y = -2.5 or -5
