(u-3)(u+5)=

Solution for (u-3)(u+5)= equation:

Simplifying
(u + -3)(u + 5) = 0

Reorder the terms:
(-3 + u)(u + 5) = 0

Reorder the terms:
(-3 + u)(5 + u) = 0

Multiply (-3 + u) * (5 + u)
(-3(5 + u) + u(5 + u)) = 0
((5 * -3 + u * -3) + u(5 + u)) = 0
((-15 + -3u) + u(5 + u)) = 0
(-15 + -3u + (5 * u + u * u)) = 0
(-15 + -3u + (5u + u2)) = 0

Combine like terms: -3u + 5u = 2u
(-15 + 2u + u2) = 0

Solving
-15 + 2u + u2 = 0

Solving for variable 'u'.

Factor a trinomial.
(-5 + -1u)(3 + -1u) = 0

Subproblem 1
Set the factor '(-5 + -1u)' equal to zero and attempt to solve:

Simplifying
-5 + -1u = 0

Solving
-5 + -1u = 0

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

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

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

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

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

Simplifying
u = -5
Subproblem 2
Set the factor '(3 + -1u)' equal to zero and attempt to solve:

Simplifying
3 + -1u = 0

Solving
3 + -1u = 0

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

Add '-3' to each side of the equation.
3 + -3 + -1u = 0 + -3

Combine like terms: 3 + -3 = 0
0 + -1u = 0 + -3
-1u = 0 + -3

Combine like terms: 0 + -3 = -3
-1u = -3

Divide each side by '-1'.
u = 3

Simplifying
u = 3
Solution
u = {-5, 3}
