Solution for (m-1)(m-5)=0 equation:


Simplifying
(m + -1)(m + -5) = 0

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

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

Multiply (-1 + m) * (-5 + m)
(-1(-5 + m) + m(-5 + m)) = 0
((-5 * -1 + m * -1) + m(-5 + m)) = 0
((5 + -1m) + m(-5 + m)) = 0
(5 + -1m + (-5 * m + m * m)) = 0
(5 + -1m + (-5m + m2)) = 0

Combine like terms: -1m + -5m = -6m
(5 + -6m + m2) = 0

Solving
5 + -6m + m2 = 0

Solving for variable 'm'.

Factor a trinomial.

Subproblem 1

Set the factor '(1 + -1m)' equal to zero and attempt to solve: Simplifying 1 + -1m = 0 Solving 1 + -1m = 0 Move all terms containing m to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-1' to each side of the equation. 1 + -1 + -1m = 0 + -1 Combine like terms: 1 + -1 = 0 0 + -1m = 0 + -1 -1m = 0 + -1 Combine like terms: 0 + -1 = -1 -1m = -1 Divide each side by '-1'. m = 1 Simplifying m = 1

Subproblem 2

Set the factor '(5 + -1m)' equal to zero and attempt to solve: Simplifying 5 + -1m = 0 Solving 5 + -1m = 0 Move all terms containing m to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-5' to each side of the equation. 5 + -5 + -1m = 0 + -5 Combine like terms: 5 + -5 = 0 0 + -1m = 0 + -5 -1m = 0 + -5 Combine like terms: 0 + -5 = -5 -1m = -5 Divide each side by '-1'. m = 5 Simplifying m = 5

Solution

m = {1, 5}
