(5u-8)(6+u)=0

Solution for (5u-8)(6+u)=0 equation:

Simplifying
(5u + -8)(6 + u) = 0

Reorder the terms:
(-8 + 5u)(6 + u) = 0

Multiply (-8 + 5u) * (6 + u)
(-8(6 + u) + 5u * (6 + u)) = 0
((6 * -8 + u * -8) + 5u * (6 + u)) = 0
((-48 + -8u) + 5u * (6 + u)) = 0
(-48 + -8u + (6 * 5u + u * 5u)) = 0
(-48 + -8u + (30u + 5u2)) = 0

Combine like terms: -8u + 30u = 22u
(-48 + 22u + 5u2) = 0

Solving
-48 + 22u + 5u2 = 0

Solving for variable 'u'.
