Solve for y. 2y^2 - 10y+44 =(y-7)^2
If there is more than one solution, separate them with commas.

y = -5, 1

Step-by-step explanation:

2y² - 10y + 44 = (y - 7)²

expand (y - 7)²

(y - 7)² = y² - 14y + 49

move it to the left

(2y² - 10y + 44) - (y² - 14y + 49) = 0

distribute the (-)

2y² - 10 y + 44 - y² + 14y - 49 = 0

combine like terms

y² - 4y -5

factor with factoring X

y² + 5y - y - 5 = 0

factor by grouping ↓

factor out a y from first half of equation

y(y + 5) - y - 5 = 0

factor out a (-) from second half of equation

y(y +5) - (y + 5) = 0

(y +5)(y - 1) = 0

y = -5, 1

first, we define the variables:

x: number of years after 1950

f (x): amount of vinyl sold.

then, with the variables defined, we have:

68594 vinyl records were sold in 1958 > f (8) = 68594

91299 vinyl records were sold in 1961 > f (11) = 91299

38720 vinyl records were sold in 1952 > f (2) = 38720

161743 vinyl records were sold in 1967 > f (17) = 161743
