\lambda X+5\lambda +uX+5u=\left(X-3\right)\left(X+2\right)
Use the distributive property to multiply \lambda +u by X+5.
\lambda X+5\lambda +uX+5u=X^{2}-X-6
Use the distributive property to multiply X-3 by X+2 and combine like terms.
5\lambda +uX+5u=X^{2}-X-6-\lambda X
Subtract \lambda X from both sides.
uX+5u=X^{2}-X-6-\lambda X-5\lambda
Subtract 5\lambda from both sides.
\left(X+5\right)u=X^{2}-X-6-\lambda X-5\lambda
Combine all terms containing u.
\left(X+5\right)u=X^{2}-X\lambda -X-5\lambda -6
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{\left(X+5\right)u}{X+5}=\frac{X^{2}-X\lambda -X-5\lambda -6}{X+5}
Divide both sides by X+5.
u=\frac{X^{2}-X\lambda -X-5\lambda -6}{X+5}
Dividing by X+5 undoes the multiplication by X+5.
