(5u+8)(4+u)=0

Solution for (5u+8)(4+u)=0 equation:

Simplifying
(5u + 8)(4 + u) = 0

Reorder the terms:
(8 + 5u)(4 + u) = 0

Multiply (8 + 5u) * (4 + u)
(8(4 + u) + 5u * (4 + u)) = 0
((4 * 8 + u * 8) + 5u * (4 + u)) = 0
((32 + 8u) + 5u * (4 + u)) = 0
(32 + 8u + (4 * 5u + u * 5u)) = 0
(32 + 8u + (20u + 5u2)) = 0

Combine like terms: 8u + 20u = 28u
(32 + 28u + 5u2) = 0

Solving
32 + 28u + 5u2 = 0

Solving for variable 'u'.
