2² - y - 5 = 0
Evaluate the power.
4 - y - 5 = 0
Calculate the sum or difference.
-1 - y = 0
Move constant to the right side and change its sign.
-y = 1
Change the signs on both sides of the equation.
y = -1
I don't know if that is factor-able. It looks like you could just subtract and get 64t. which would lead to the answer being zero since you divide by zero when isolating the variable t.
