Factor the left side of the equation.

-17(u-16)(u+10)=0

If any individual factor on the left side of the equation is equal to 0, the entire expression will be equal to 0.

u-16=0

u+10=0

Set u-16 equal to 0 and solve for u.

u=16

Set u+10 equal to 0 and solve for u.

u=-10

The final solution is all the values that make -17(u-16)(u+10)=0 true.

u=16,-10
