(u-2)(u+6)=0

Solution for (u-2)(u+6)=0 equation:

Simplifying
(u + -2)(u + 6) = 0

Reorder the terms:
(-2 + u)(u + 6) = 0

Reorder the terms:
(-2 + u)(6 + u) = 0

Multiply (-2 + u) * (6 + u)
(-2(6 + u) + u(6 + u)) = 0
((6 * -2 + u * -2) + u(6 + u)) = 0
((-12 + -2u) + u(6 + u)) = 0
(-12 + -2u + (6 * u + u * u)) = 0
(-12 + -2u + (6u + u2)) = 0

Combine like terms: -2u + 6u = 4u
(-12 + 4u + u2) = 0

Solving
-12 + 4u + u2 = 0

Solving for variable 'u'.

Solving
2 + -1u = 0

Move all terms containing u to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-2' to each side of the equation.
2 + -2 + -1u = 0 + -2

Combine like terms: 2 + -2 = 0
0 + -1u = 0 + -2
-1u = 0 + -2

Combine like terms: 0 + -2 = -2
-1u = -2

Divide each side by '-1'.
u = 2

Simplifying
u = 2
Solution
u = {-6, 2}
