-----------------
y^2+10y+16 = 0
----
Use Inverse FOIL:
y^2+8y+2y+16 = 0
---
y(y+8)+2(y+8) = 0
---
(y+8)(y+2) = 0
----
y = -8 or y = -2

So far, so good.
But now you have to factor it.
What two terms can you multiply to get 16?
1 * 16
2 * 8
That's it.
...
Now add them together
1 + 16 = 17
2 + 8 = 10
That's the one you're looking for: 10, as in 10y.
.
So, we can factor the equation:

.
We can check this to be sure.


.
But really, we solve these types of equations to find values of y.

So,
y = -2 or y = -8 to make the equation = 0.
.
