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

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

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

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

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

Multiply (-5 + 2n) * (1 + n)
(-5(1 + n) + 2n * (1 + n)) = 0
((1 * -5 + n * -5) + 2n * (1 + n)) = 0
((-5 + -5n) + 2n * (1 + n)) = 0
(-5 + -5n + (1 * 2n + n * 2n)) = 0
(-5 + -5n + (2n + 2n2)) = 0

Combine like terms: -5n + 2n = -3n
(-5 + -3n + 2n2) = 0

Solving
-5 + -3n + 2n2 = 0

Solving for variable 'n'.
