Solution for (u-4)(u+8)= equation:


Simplifying
(u + -4)(u + 8) = 0

Reorder the terms:
(-4 + u)(u + 8) = 0

Reorder the terms:
(-4 + u)(8 + u) = 0

Multiply (-4 + u) * (8 + u)
(-4(8 + u) + u(8 + u)) = 0
((8 * -4 + u * -4) + u(8 + u)) = 0
((-32 + -4u) + u(8 + u)) = 0
(-32 + -4u + (8 * u + u * u)) = 0
(-32 + -4u + (8u + u2)) = 0

Combine like terms: -4u + 8u = 4u
(-32 + 4u + u2) = 0

Solving
-32 + 4u + u2 = 0

Solving for variable 'u'.

Factor a trinomial.
