(3-u)(4u+1)=0

Solution for (3-u)(4u+1)=0 equation:

Simplifying
(3 + -1u)(4u + 1) = 0

Reorder the terms:
(3 + -1u)(1 + 4u) = 0

Multiply (3 + -1u) * (1 + 4u)
(3(1 + 4u) + -1u * (1 + 4u)) = 0
((1 * 3 + 4u * 3) + -1u * (1 + 4u)) = 0
((3 + 12u) + -1u * (1 + 4u)) = 0
(3 + 12u + (1 * -1u + 4u * -1u)) = 0
(3 + 12u + (-1u + -4u2)) = 0

Combine like terms: 12u + -1u = 11u
(3 + 11u + -4u2) = 0

Solving
3 + 11u + -4u2 = 0

Solving for variable 'u'.

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

Add '-1' to each side of the equation.
1 + -1 + 4u = 0 + -1

Combine like terms: 1 + -1 = 0
0 + 4u = 0 + -1
4u = 0 + -1

Combine like terms: 0 + -1 = -1
4u = -1

Divide each side by '4'.
u = -0.25

Simplifying
u = -0.25
Solution
u = {3, -0.25}
