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

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

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

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

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

Multiply (-5 + m) * (1 + 3m)
(-5(1 + 3m) + m(1 + 3m)) = 0
((1 * -5 + 3m * -5) + m(1 + 3m)) = 0
((-5 + -15m) + m(1 + 3m)) = 0
(-5 + -15m + (1 * m + 3m * m)) = 0
(-5 + -15m + (1m + 3m2)) = 0

Combine like terms: -15m + 1m = -14m
(-5 + -14m + 3m2) = 0

Solving
-5 + -14m + 3m2 = 0

Solving for variable 'm'.
