(2x+1)*(x-1)=

Solution for (2x+1)*(x-1)= equation:

Simplifying
(2x + 1)(x + -1) = 0

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

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

Multiply (1 + 2x) * (-1 + x)
(1(-1 + x) + 2x * (-1 + x)) = 0
((-1 * 1 + x * 1) + 2x * (-1 + x)) = 0
((-1 + 1x) + 2x * (-1 + x)) = 0
(-1 + 1x + (-1 * 2x + x * 2x)) = 0
(-1 + 1x + (-2x + 2x2)) = 0

Combine like terms: 1x + -2x = -1x
(-1 + -1x + 2x2) = 0

Solving
-1 + -1x + 2x2 = 0

Solving for variable 'x'.

Factor a trinomial.
(-1 + -2x)(1 + -1x) = 0
