(3+u)(5u+8)=0

Solution for (3+u)(5u+8)=0 equation:

Simplifying
(3 + u)(5u + 8) = 0

Reorder the terms:
(3 + u)(8 + 5u) = 0

Multiply (3 + u) * (8 + 5u)
(3(8 + 5u) + u(8 + 5u)) = 0
((8 * 3 + 5u * 3) + u(8 + 5u)) = 0
((24 + 15u) + u(8 + 5u)) = 0
(24 + 15u + (8 * u + 5u * u)) = 0
(24 + 15u + (8u + 5u2)) = 0

Combine like terms: 15u + 8u = 23u
(24 + 23u + 5u2) = 0

Solving
24 + 23u + 5u2 = 0

Solving for variable 'u'.
