(5-8u)(1-u)=

Solution for (5-8u)(1-u)= equation:

Simplifying
(5 + -8u)(1 + -1u) = 0

Multiply (5 + -8u) * (1 + -1u)
(5(1 + -1u) + -8u * (1 + -1u)) = 0
((1 * 5 + -1u * 5) + -8u * (1 + -1u)) = 0
((5 + -5u) + -8u * (1 + -1u)) = 0
(5 + -5u + (1 * -8u + -1u * -8u)) = 0
(5 + -5u + (-8u + 8u2)) = 0

Combine like terms: -5u + -8u = -13u
(5 + -13u + 8u2) = 0

Solving
5 + -13u + 8u2 = 0

Solving for variable 'u'.
