y\left(4y-89+33\right)=0
Factor out y.
y=0 y=14
To find equation solutions, solve y=0 and 4y-56=0.
4y^{2}-56y=0
Combine -89y and 33y to get -56y.
y=\frac{-\left(-56\right)±\sqrt{\left(-56\right)^{2}}}{2\times 4}
This equation is in standard form: ax^{2}+bx+c=0. Substitute 4 for a, -56 for b, and 0 for c in the quadratic formula, \frac{-b±\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}.
y=\frac{-\left(-56\right)±56}{2\times 4}
Take the square root of \left(-56\right)^{2}.
y=\frac{56±56}{2\times 4}
The opposite of -56 is 56.
y=\frac{56±56}{8}
Multiply 2 times 4.
y=\frac{112}{8}
Now solve the equation y=\frac{56±56}{8} when ± is plus. Add 56 to 56.
y=14
Divide 112 by 8.
y=\frac{0}{8}
Now solve the equation y=\frac{56±56}{8} when ± is minus. Subtract 56 from 56.
y=0
Divide 0 by 8.
y=14 y=0
The equation is now solved.
4y^{2}-56y=0
Combine -89y and 33y to get -56y.
\frac{4y^{2}-56y}{4}=\frac{0}{4}
Divide both sides by 4.
y^{2}+\left(-\frac{56}{4}\right)y=\frac{0}{4}
Dividing by 4 undoes the multiplication by 4.
y^{2}-14y=\frac{0}{4}
Divide -56 by 4.
y^{2}-14y=0
Divide 0 by 4.
y^{2}-14y+\left(-7\right)^{2}=\left(-7\right)^{2}
Divide -14, the coefficient of the x term, by 2 to get -7. Then add the square of -7 to both sides of the equation. This step makes the left hand side of the equation a perfect square.
y^{2}-14y+49=49
Square -7.
\left(y-7\right)^{2}=49
Factor y^{2}-14y+49. In general, when x^{2}+bx+c is a perfect square, it can always be factored as \left(x+\frac{b}{2}\right)^{2}.
\sqrt{\left(y-7\right)^{2}}=\sqrt{49}
Take the square root of both sides of the equation.
y-7=7 y-7=-7
Simplify.
y=14 y=0
Add 7 to both sides of the equation.
