(2t-1)(t+5)=

Solution for (2t-1)(t+5)= equation:

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

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

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

Multiply (-1 + 2t) * (5 + t)
(-1(5 + t) + 2t * (5 + t)) = 0
((5 * -1 + t * -1) + 2t * (5 + t)) = 0
((-5 + -1t) + 2t * (5 + t)) = 0
(-5 + -1t + (5 * 2t + t * 2t)) = 0
(-5 + -1t + (10t + 2t2)) = 0

Combine like terms: -1t + 10t = 9t
(-5 + 9t + 2t2) = 0

Solving
-5 + 9t + 2t2 = 0

Solving for variable 't'.
