(2w+5)(1-w)=0

Solution for (2w+5)(1-w)=0 equation:

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

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

Multiply (5 + 2w) * (1 + -1w)
(5(1 + -1w) + 2w * (1 + -1w)) = 0
((1 * 5 + -1w * 5) + 2w * (1 + -1w)) = 0
((5 + -5w) + 2w * (1 + -1w)) = 0
(5 + -5w + (1 * 2w + -1w * 2w)) = 0
(5 + -5w + (2w + -2w2)) = 0

Combine like terms: -5w + 2w = -3w
(5 + -3w + -2w2) = 0

Solving
5 + -3w + -2w2 = 0

Solving for variable 'w'.

Factor a trinomial.

Subproblem 1
Set the factor '(1 + -1w)' equal to zero and attempt to solve:

Simplifying
1 + -1w = 0

Solving
1 + -1w = 0

Move all terms containing w to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-1' to each side of the equation.
1 + -1 + -1w = 0 + -1

Combine like terms: 1 + -1 = 0
0 + -1w = 0 + -1
-1w = 0 + -1

Combine like terms: 0 + -1 = -1
-1w = -1

Divide each side by '-1'.
w = 1

Simplifying
w = 1
Subproblem 2
Set the factor '(5 + 2w)' equal to zero and attempt to solve:

Simplifying
5 + 2w = 0

Solving
5 + 2w = 0

Move all terms containing w to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-5' to each side of the equation.
5 + -5 + 2w = 0 + -5

Combine like terms: 5 + -5 = 0
0 + 2w = 0 + -5
2w = 0 + -5

Combine like terms: 0 + -5 = -5
2w = -5

Divide each side by '2'.
w = -2.5

Simplifying
w = -2.5
Solution
w = {1, -2.5}
