(n-2)(n+1)=0

Solution for (n-2)(n+1)=0 equation:

Simplifying
(n + -2)(n + 1) = 0

Reorder the terms:
(-2 + n)(n + 1) = 0

Reorder the terms:
(-2 + n)(1 + n) = 0

Multiply (-2 + n) * (1 + n)
(-2(1 + n) + n(1 + n)) = 0
((1 * -2 + n * -2) + n(1 + n)) = 0
((-2 + -2n) + n(1 + n)) = 0
(-2 + -2n + (1 * n + n * n)) = 0
(-2 + -2n + (1n + n2)) = 0

Combine like terms: -2n + 1n = -1n
(-2 + -1n + n2) = 0

Solving
-2 + -1n + n2 = 0

Solving for variable 'n'.

Factor a trinomial.
