(2p-5)(p-1)=

Solution for (2p-5)(p-1)= equation:

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

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

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

Multiply (-5 + 2p) * (-1 + p)
(-5(-1 + p) + 2p * (-1 + p)) = 0
((-1 * -5 + p * -5) + 2p * (-1 + p)) = 0
((5 + -5p) + 2p * (-1 + p)) = 0
(5 + -5p + (-1 * 2p + p * 2p)) = 0
(5 + -5p + (-2p + 2p2)) = 0

Combine like terms: -5p + -2p = -7p
(5 + -7p + 2p2) = 0

Solving
5 + -7p + 2p2 = 0
