Solution for (5u-1)(8-u)=0 equation:


Simplifying
(5u + -1)(8 + -1u) = 0

Reorder the terms:
(-1 + 5u)(8 + -1u) = 0

Multiply (-1 + 5u) * (8 + -1u)
(-1(8 + -1u) + 5u * (8 + -1u)) = 0
((8 * -1 + -1u * -1) + 5u * (8 + -1u)) = 0
((-8 + 1u) + 5u * (8 + -1u)) = 0
(-8 + 1u + (8 * 5u + -1u * 5u)) = 0
(-8 + 1u + (40u + -5u2)) = 0

Combine like terms: 1u + 40u = 41u
(-8 + 41u + -5u2) = 0

Solving
-8 + 41u + -5u2 = 0
