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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Solving for variable 'u'.

Simplifying
5 + -2u = 0

Solving
5 + -2u = 0

Move all terms containing u to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-5' to each side of the equation.
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}
