(2t+5)(t+4)=

Solution for (2t+5)(t+4)= equation:

Simplifying
(2t + 5)(t + 4) = 0

Reorder the terms:
(5 + 2t)(t + 4) = 0

Reorder the terms:
(5 + 2t)(4 + t) = 0

Multiply (5 + 2t) * (4 + t)
(5(4 + t) + 2t * (4 + t)) = 0
((4 * 5 + t * 5) + 2t * (4 + t)) = 0
((20 + 5t) + 2t * (4 + t)) = 0
(20 + 5t + (4 * 2t + t * 2t)) = 0
(20 + 5t + (8t + 2t2)) = 0

Combine like terms: 5t + 8t = 13t
(20 + 13t + 2t2) = 0

Solving
