(4x+1)(x-5)=

Solution for (4x+1)(x-5)= equation:

Simplifying
(4x + 1)(x + -5) = 0

Reorder the terms:
(1 + 4x)(x + -5) = 0

Reorder the terms:
(1 + 4x)(-5 + x) = 0

Multiply (1 + 4x) * (-5 + x)
(1(-5 + x) + 4x * (-5 + x)) = 0
((-5 * 1 + x * 1) + 4x * (-5 + x)) = 0
((-5 + 1x) + 4x * (-5 + x)) = 0
(-5 + 1x + (-5 * 4x + x * 4x)) = 0
(-5 + 1x + (-20x + 4x2)) = 0

Combine like terms: 1x + -20x = -19x
(-5 + -19x + 4x2) = 0

Solving
-5 + -19x + 4x2 = 0

Solving for variable 'x'.
