(5-u)(4u+1)=0

Solution for (5-u)(4u+1)=0 equation:

Simplifying
(5 + -1u)(4u + 1) = 0

Reorder the terms:
(5 + -1u)(1 + 4u) = 0

Multiply (5 + -1u) * (1 + 4u)
(5(1 + 4u) + -1u * (1 + 4u)) = 0
((1 * 5 + 4u * 5) + -1u * (1 + 4u)) = 0
((5 + 20u) + -1u * (1 + 4u)) = 0
(5 + 20u + (1 * -1u + 4u * -1u)) = 0
(5 + 20u + (-1u + -4u2)) = 0

Combine like terms: 20u + -1u = 19u
(5 + 19u + -4u2) = 0

Solving
5 + 19u + -4u2 = 0

Solving for variable 'u'.
