(n+1)(n-5)=0

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

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

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

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

Multiply (1 + n) * (-5 + n)
(1(-5 + n) + n(-5 + n)) = 0
((-5 * 1 + n * 1) + n(-5 + n)) = 0
((-5 + 1n) + n(-5 + n)) = 0
(-5 + 1n + (-5 * n + n * n)) = 0
(-5 + 1n + (-5n + n2)) = 0

Combine like terms: 1n + -5n = -4n
(-5 + -4n + n2) = 0

Solving
-5 + -4n + n2 = 0

Solving for variable 'n'.
