(2x+1)(x-3)=0

Solution for (2x+1)(x-3)=0 equation:

Simplifying
(2x + 1)(x + -3) = 0

Reorder the terms:
(1 + 2x)(x + -3) = 0

Reorder the terms:
(1 + 2x)(-3 + x) = 0

Multiply (1 + 2x) * (-3 + x)
(1(-3 + x) + 2x * (-3 + x)) = 0
((-3 * 1 + x * 1) + 2x * (-3 + x)) = 0
((-3 + 1x) + 2x * (-3 + x)) = 0
(-3 + 1x + (-3 * 2x + x * 2x)) = 0
(-3 + 1x + (-6x + 2x2)) = 0

Combine like terms: 1x + -6x = -5x
(-3 + -5x + 2x2) = 0

Solving
-3 + -5x + 2x2 = 0

Solving for variable 'x'.
