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

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

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

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

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

Multiply (-1 + 2y) * (5 + y)
(-1(5 + y) + 2y * (5 + y)) = 0
((5 * -1 + y * -1) + 2y * (5 + y)) = 0
((-5 + -1y) + 2y * (5 + y)) = 0
(-5 + -1y + (5 * 2y + y * 2y)) = 0
(-5 + -1y + (10y + 2y2)) = 0

Combine like terms: -1y + 10y = 9y
(-5 + 9y + 2y2) = 0

Solving
-5 + 9y + 2y2 = 0

Solving for variable 'y'.

Simplifying
1 + -2y = 0

Solving
1 + -2y = 0

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

Add '-1' to each side of the equation.
1 + -1 + -2y = 0 + -1

Combine like terms: 1 + -1 = 0
0 + -2y = 0 + -1
-2y = 0 + -1

Combine like terms: 0 + -1 = -1
-2y = -1

Divide each side by '-2'.
y = 0.5

Simplifying
y = 0.5
Solution
y = {-5, 0.5}
