(m-5)(m+2)=

Solution for (m-5)(m+2)= equation:

Simplifying
(m + -5)(m + 2) = 0

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

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

Multiply (-5 + m) * (2 + m)
(-5(2 + m) + m(2 + m)) = 0
((2 * -5 + m * -5) + m(2 + m)) = 0
((-10 + -5m) + m(2 + m)) = 0
(-10 + -5m + (2 * m + m * m)) = 0
(-10 + -5m + (2m + m2)) = 0

Combine like terms: -5m + 2m = -3m
(-10 + -3m + m2) = 0

Solving
-10 + -3m + m2 = 0

Solving for variable 'm'.

Add '-5' to each side of the equation.
5 + -5 + -1m = 0 + -5

Combine like terms: 5 + -5 = 0
0 + -1m = 0 + -5
-1m = 0 + -5

Combine like terms: 0 + -5 = -5
-1m = -5

Divide each side by '-1'.
m = 5

Simplifying
m = 5
Solution
m = {-2, 5}
