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

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

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

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

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

Multiply (1 + 2y) * (5 + -1y)
(1(5 + -1y) + 2y * (5 + -1y)) = 0
((5 * 1 + -1y * 1) + 2y * (5 + -1y)) = 0
((5 + -1y) + 2y * (5 + -1y)) = 0
(5 + -1y + (5 * 2y + -1y * 2y)) = 0
(5 + -1y + (10y + -2y2)) = 0

Combine like terms: -1y + 10y = 9y
(5 + 9y + -2y2) = 0

Solving
5 + 9y + -2y2 = 0

Solving for variable 'y'.

0 + 2y = 0 + -1
2y = 0 + -1

Combine like terms: 0 + -1 = -1
2y = -1

Divide each side by '2'.
y = -0.5

Simplifying
y = -0.5
Solution
y = {5, -0.5}
