(x-5)(x-1)=0

Solution for (x-5)(x-1)=0 equation:

Simplifying
(x + -5)(x + -1) = 0

Reorder the terms:
(-5 + x)(x + -1) = 0

Reorder the terms:
(-5 + x)(-1 + x) = 0

Multiply (-5 + x) * (-1 + x)
(-5(-1 + x) + x(-1 + x)) = 0
((-1 * -5 + x * -5) + x(-1 + x)) = 0
((5 + -5x) + x(-1 + x)) = 0
(5 + -5x + (-1 * x + x * x)) = 0
(5 + -5x + (-1x + x2)) = 0

Combine like terms: -5x + -1x = -6x
(5 + -6x + x2) = 0

Solving
5 + -6x + x2 = 0
