Simplify (y+5)(y-6)

$(y + 5) (y - 6)$

Step 1

Expand $(y + 5) (y - 6)$ using the FOIL Method.

Apply the distributive property.

$y (y - 6) + 5 (y - 6)$

Apply the distributive property.

$y \cdot y + y \cdot - 6 + 5 (y - 6)$

Apply the distributive property.

$y \cdot y + y \cdot - 6 + 5 y + 5 \cdot - 6$

$y \cdot y + y \cdot - 6 + 5 y + 5 \cdot - 6$

Step 2

Simplify and combine like terms.

Simplify each term.

Multiply $y$ by $y$ .

$y^{2} + y \cdot - 6 + 5 y + 5 \cdot - 6$

Move $- 6$ to the left of $y$ .

$y^{2} - 6 \cdot y + 5 y + 5 \cdot - 6$

Multiply $5$ by $- 6$ .

$y^{2} - 6 y + 5 y - 30$

$y^{2} - 6 y + 5 y - 30$

Add $- 6 y$ and $5 y$ .

$y^{2} - y - 30$

$y^{2} - y - 30$
