(t-5)(t-2)=

Solution for (t-5)(t-2)= equation:

Simplifying
(t + -5)(t + -2) = 0

Reorder the terms:
(-5 + t)(t + -2) = 0

Reorder the terms:
(-5 + t)(-2 + t) = 0

Multiply (-5 + t) * (-2 + t)
(-5(-2 + t) + t(-2 + t)) = 0
((-2 * -5 + t * -5) + t(-2 + t)) = 0
((10 + -5t) + t(-2 + t)) = 0
(10 + -5t + (-2 * t + t * t)) = 0
(10 + -5t + (-2t + t2)) = 0

Combine like terms: -5t + -2t = -7t
(10 + -7t + t2) = 0

Solving
10 + -7t + t2 = 0

Solving for variable 't'.

Factor a trinomial.
(2 + -1t)(5 + -1t) = 0

Subproblem 1
Set the factor '(2 + -1t)' equal to zero and attempt to solve:

Simplifying
2 + -1t = 0

Solving
2 + -1t = 0

Move all terms containing t to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-2' to each side of the equation.
2 + -2 + -1t = 0 + -2

Combine like terms: 2 + -2 = 0
0 + -1t = 0 + -2
-1t = 0 + -2

Combine like terms: 0 + -2 = -2
-1t = -2

Divide each side by '-1'.
t = 2

Simplifying
t = 2
Subproblem 2
Set the factor '(5 + -1t)' equal to zero and attempt to solve:

Simplifying
5 + -1t = 0

Solving
5 + -1t = 0

Move all terms containing t to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-5' to each side of the equation.
5 + -5 + -1t = 0 + -5

Combine like terms: 5 + -5 = 0
0 + -1t = 0 + -5
-1t = 0 + -5

Combine like terms: 0 + -5 = -5
-1t = -5

Divide each side by '-1'.
t = 5

Simplifying
t = 5
Solution
t = {2, 5}
