(y-1)(1+3y)=0

Solution for (y-1)(1+3y)=0 equation:

Simplifying
(y + -1)(1 + 3y) = 0

Reorder the terms:
(-1 + y)(1 + 3y) = 0

Multiply (-1 + y) * (1 + 3y)
(-1(1 + 3y) + y(1 + 3y)) = 0
((1 * -1 + 3y * -1) + y(1 + 3y)) = 0
((-1 + -3y) + y(1 + 3y)) = 0
(-1 + -3y + (1 * y + 3y * y)) = 0
(-1 + -3y + (1y + 3y2)) = 0

Combine like terms: -3y + 1y = -2y
(-1 + -2y + 3y2) = 0

Solving
-1 + -2y + 3y2 = 0

Solving for variable 'y'.

Factor a trinomial.
