(x-5)(2x+1)=0
To solve this equation solve these equations:
Equation 1
x - 5 = 0
x= 5 ( Transposing 5 to the other side of the equation)
Equation 2
2x + 1 = 0
2x = -1 ( Transposing 1 to the other side of the equation)
x= -1/2 (Dividing by 2 on both sides of the equation)
The answers are:
x1= 5 and x2=-1/2
