(w+1)(w-6)=

Solution for (w+1)(w-6)= equation:

Simplifying
(w + 1)(w + -6) = 0

Reorder the terms:
(1 + w)(w + -6) = 0

Reorder the terms:
(1 + w)(-6 + w) = 0

Multiply (1 + w) * (-6 + w)
(1(-6 + w) + w(-6 + w)) = 0
((-6 * 1 + w * 1) + w(-6 + w)) = 0
((-6 + 1w) + w(-6 + w)) = 0
(-6 + 1w + (-6 * w + w * w)) = 0
(-6 + 1w + (-6w + w2)) = 0

Combine like terms: 1w + -6w = -5w
(-6 + -5w + w2) = 0

Solving
-6 + -5w + w2 = 0

Solving for variable 'w'.

Factor a trinomial.
(-1 + -1w)(6 + -1w) = 0

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

Simplifying
-1 + -1w = 0

Solving
-1 + -1w = 0

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

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

Combine like terms: -1 + 1 = 0
0 + -1w = 0 + 1
-1w = 0 + 1

Combine like terms: 0 + 1 = 1
-1w = 1

Divide each side by '-1'.
w = -1

Simplifying
w = -1
Subproblem 2
Set the factor '(6 + -1w)' equal to zero and attempt to solve:

Simplifying
6 + -1w = 0

Solving
6 + -1w = 0

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

Add '-6' to each side of the equation.
6 + -6 + -1w = 0 + -6

Combine like terms: 6 + -6 = 0
0 + -1w = 0 + -6
-1w = 0 + -6

Combine like terms: 0 + -6 = -6
-1w = -6

Divide each side by '-1'.
w = 6

Simplifying
w = 6
Solution
w = {-1, 6}
