y^2 - 18y + 81 = 25
subtract 25 from both sides and solve it as a quadratic equation
y^2 - 18y + 81 - 25 = 0
y^2 - 18y + 56 = 0
You can use the quadratic formula, but this will factor to
(y-4)(y-14) = 0
Two solutions which are integers
y = 4
and
y = 14

Complete the square

This ends up being what I started with,
since I didn't realize both sides were
perfect squares, but now I've proven it

Take the square root of both sides

and taking negative square root of

I can check by plugging both results back into equation

and

OK
