(5w+8)(2+w)=0

Solution for (5w+8)(2+w)=0 equation:

Simplifying
(5w + 8)(2 + w) = 0

Reorder the terms:
(8 + 5w)(2 + w) = 0

Multiply (8 + 5w) * (2 + w)
(8(2 + w) + 5w * (2 + w)) = 0
((2 * 8 + w * 8) + 5w * (2 + w)) = 0
((16 + 8w) + 5w * (2 + w)) = 0
(16 + 8w + (2 * 5w + w * 5w)) = 0
(16 + 8w + (10w + 5w2)) = 0

Combine like terms: 8w + 10w = 18w
(16 + 18w + 5w2) = 0

Solving
16 + 18w + 5w2 = 0

Solving for variable 'w'.
