(5u-1)(2+u)=0

Solution for (5u-1)(2+u)=0 equation:

Simplifying
(5u + -1)(2 + u) = 0

Reorder the terms:
(-1 + 5u)(2 + u) = 0

Multiply (-1 + 5u) * (2 + u)
(-1(2 + u) + 5u * (2 + u)) = 0
((2 * -1 + u * -1) + 5u * (2 + u)) = 0
((-2 + -1u) + 5u * (2 + u)) = 0
(-2 + -1u + (2 * 5u + u * 5u)) = 0
(-2 + -1u + (10u + 5u2)) = 0

Combine like terms: -1u + 10u = 9u
(-2 + 9u + 5u2) = 0

Solving
-2 + 9u + 5u2 = 0

Solving for variable 'u'.

Factor a trinomial.

Subproblem 2
Set the factor '(1 + -5u)' equal to zero and attempt to solve:

Simplifying
1 + -5u = 0

Solving
1 + -5u = 0

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

Add '-1' to each side of the equation.
1 + -1 + -5u = 0 + -1

Combine like terms: 1 + -1 = 0
0 + -5u = 0 + -1
-5u = 0 + -1

Combine like terms: 0 + -1 = -1
-5u = -1

Divide each side by '-5'.
u = 0.2

Simplifying
u = 0.2
Solution
u = {-2, 0.2}
