3(7y - 6)^2 - 166 = 26 

 

1. Collect all the variables and constants onto one side

3(7y - 6)^2 - 192 = 0

 

2. Expand the brackets

3(7y - 6)(7y - 6) - 192 = 0

3(49y^2 - 84y + 36) - 192 = 0

147y^2 - 252y + 108 - 192 = 0

147y^2 - 252y - 84 = 0

 

3. Solve for x by either factorising, completing the square, or using the quadratic formula

Factors: 21(y - 2)(7y + 2)

Solutions: y = 2, y = -2/7
