Step 1.1.2.1

Move

$11$ to the left of

$y$ .

$11 \cdot y + y (- y) = 30$

Step 1.1.2.2

Rewrite using the commutative property of multiplication.

$11 \cdot y - y \cdot y = 30$

$11 \cdot y - y \cdot y = 30$

$11 \cdot y - y \cdot y = 30$

Step 1.2

Multiply

$y$ by

$y$ by adding the exponents.

Step 1.2.1

Move

$y$ .

$11 y - (y \cdot y) = 30$

Step 1.2.2

Multiply

$y$ by

$y$ .

$11 y - y^{2} = 30$

$11 y - y^{2} = 30$

$11 y - y^{2} = 30$

Step 2

Subtract

$30$ from both sides of the equation.

$11 y - y^{2} - 30 = 0$

Step 3.1.1

Reorder

$11 y$ and

$- y^{2}$ .

$- y^{2} + 11 y - 30 = 0$

Step 3.1.2

Factor

$- 1$ out of

$- y^{2}$ .

$- (y^{2}) + 11 y - 30 = 0$

Step 3.1.3

Factor

$- 1$ out of

$11 y$ .

$- (y^{2}) - (- 11 y) - 30 = 0$

Step 3.1.4

Rewrite

$- 30$ as

$- 1 (30)$ .

$- (y^{2}) - (- 11 y) - 1 \cdot 30 = 0$

Step 3.1.5

Factor

$- 1$ out of

$- (y^{2}) - (- 11 y)$ .

$- (y^{2} - 11 y) - 1 \cdot 30 = 0$

Step 3.1.6

Factor

$- 1$ out of

$- (y^{2} - 11 y) - 1 (30)$ .

$- (y^{2} - 11 y + 30) = 0$

$- (y^{2} - 11 y + 30) = 0$

Step 3.2.1.1

Consider the form

$x^{2} + b x + c$ . Find a pair of integers whose product is

$c$ and whose sum is

$b$ . In this case, whose product is

$30$ and whose sum is

$- 11$ .

$- 6, - 5$

Step 3.2.1.2

Write the factored form using these integers.

$- ((y - 6) (y - 5)) = 0$

$- ((y - 6) (y - 5)) = 0$

Step 3.2.2

Remove unnecessary parentheses.

$- (y - 6) (y - 5) = 0$

$- (y - 6) (y - 5) = 0$

$- (y - 6) (y - 5) = 0$

Step 4

If any individual factor on the left side of the equation is equal to

$0$ , the entire expression will be equal to

$0$ .

$y - 6 = 0$

$y - 5 = 0$

Step 5

Set

$y - 6$ equal to

$0$ and solve for

$y$ .

Step 5.1

Set

$y - 6$ equal to

$0$ .

$y - 6 = 0$

Step 5.2

Add

$6$ to both sides of the equation.

$y = 6$

$y = 6$

Step 6

Set

$y - 5$ equal to

$0$ and solve for

$y$ .

Step 6.1

Set

$y - 5$ equal to

$0$ .

$y - 5 = 0$

Step 6.2

Add

$5$ to both sides of the equation.

$y = 5$

$y = 5$

Step 7

The final solution is all the values that make

$- (y - 6) (y - 5) = 0$ true.

$y = 6, 5$
