(1-u)(2u+5)=0

Solution for (1-u)(2u+5)=0 equation:

Simplifying
(1 + -1u)(2u + 5) = 0

Reorder the terms:
(1 + -1u)(5 + 2u) = 0

Multiply (1 + -1u) * (5 + 2u)
(1(5 + 2u) + -1u * (5 + 2u)) = 0
((5 * 1 + 2u * 1) + -1u * (5 + 2u)) = 0
((5 + 2u) + -1u * (5 + 2u)) = 0
(5 + 2u + (5 * -1u + 2u * -1u)) = 0
(5 + 2u + (-5u + -2u2)) = 0

Combine like terms: 2u + -5u = -3u
(5 + -3u + -2u2) = 0

Solving
5 + -3u + -2u2 = 0

Solving for variable 'u'.

5 + -5 + 2u = 0 + -5

Combine like terms: 5 + -5 = 0
0 + 2u = 0 + -5
2u = 0 + -5

Combine like terms: 0 + -5 = -5
2u = -5

Divide each side by '2'.
u = -2.5

Simplifying
u = -2.5
Solution
u = {1, -2.5}
