(x-5)(2x-1)=

Solution for (x-5)(2x-1)= equation:

Simplifying
(x + -5)(2x + -1) = 0

Reorder the terms:
(-5 + x)(2x + -1) = 0

Reorder the terms:
(-5 + x)(-1 + 2x) = 0

Multiply (-5 + x) * (-1 + 2x)
(-5(-1 + 2x) + x(-1 + 2x)) = 0
((-1 * -5 + 2x * -5) + x(-1 + 2x)) = 0
((5 + -10x) + x(-1 + 2x)) = 0
(5 + -10x + (-1 * x + 2x * x)) = 0
(5 + -10x + (-1x + 2x2)) = 0

Combine like terms: -10x + -1x = -11x
(5 + -11x + 2x2) = 0

Solving
5 + -11x + 2x2 = 0
