(x-1)(x+6)=

Solution for (x-1)(x+6)= equation:

Simplifying
(x + -1)(x + 6) = 0

Reorder the terms:
(-1 + x)(x + 6) = 0

Reorder the terms:
(-1 + x)(6 + x) = 0

Multiply (-1 + x) * (6 + x)
(-1(6 + x) + x(6 + x)) = 0
((6 * -1 + x * -1) + x(6 + x)) = 0
((-6 + -1x) + x(6 + x)) = 0
(-6 + -1x + (6 * x + x * x)) = 0
(-6 + -1x + (6x + x2)) = 0

Combine like terms: -1x + 6x = 5x
(-6 + 5x + x2) = 0

Solving
-6 + 5x + x2 = 0

Solving for variable 'x'.

Factor a trinomial.
