UpStudy AI · Accepted Answer

To solve the equation $$(u + 5)(8u - 1) = 0$$, set each factor equal to zero and solve for $$ u $$:

1. **First factor:**
   $$
   u + 5 = 0 \
   u = -5
   $$

2. **Second factor:**
   $$
   8u - 1 = 0 \
   8u = 1 \
   u = \frac{1}{8}
   $$

**Solutions:**
$$
u = -5 \quad \text{and} \quad u = \frac{1}{8}
$$
$$ u = -5 $$ or $$ u = \frac{1}{8} $$

Solve for \( u \). \[ \begin{array}{l}(u+5)(8 u-1)=0 \\ \text { Write your answers as integers or as proper or improper fractions in simplest form. } \\ u=\square \\ \text { Submit }\end{array} \]
