(5+u)(2u-9)=0

Solution for (5+u)(2u-9)=0 equation:

Simplifying
(5 + u)(2u + -9) = 0

Reorder the terms:
(5 + u)(-9 + 2u) = 0

Multiply (5 + u) * (-9 + 2u)
(5(-9 + 2u) + u(-9 + 2u)) = 0
((-9 * 5 + 2u * 5) + u(-9 + 2u)) = 0
((-45 + 10u) + u(-9 + 2u)) = 0
(-45 + 10u + (-9 * u + 2u * u)) = 0
(-45 + 10u + (-9u + 2u2)) = 0

Combine like terms: 10u + -9u = 1u
(-45 + 1u + 2u2) = 0

Solving
-45 + 1u + 2u2 = 0

Solving for variable 'u'.
