(5-y)(3y+1)=0

Solution for (5-y)(3y+1)=0 equation:

Simplifying
(5 + -1y)(3y + 1) = 0

Reorder the terms:
(5 + -1y)(1 + 3y) = 0

Multiply (5 + -1y) * (1 + 3y)
(5(1 + 3y) + -1y * (1 + 3y)) = 0
((1 * 5 + 3y * 5) + -1y * (1 + 3y)) = 0
((5 + 15y) + -1y * (1 + 3y)) = 0
(5 + 15y + (1 * -1y + 3y * -1y)) = 0
(5 + 15y + (-1y + -3y2)) = 0

Combine like terms: 15y + -1y = 14y
(5 + 14y + -3y2) = 0

Solving
5 + 14y + -3y2 = 0

Solving for variable 'y'.
