(1-4a)(1-3a)=

Solution for (1-4a)(1-3a)= equation:

Simplifying
(1 + -4a)(1 + -3a) = 0

Multiply (1 + -4a) * (1 + -3a)
(1(1 + -3a) + -4a * (1 + -3a)) = 0
((1 * 1 + -3a * 1) + -4a * (1 + -3a)) = 0
((1 + -3a) + -4a * (1 + -3a)) = 0
(1 + -3a + (1 * -4a + -3a * -4a)) = 0
(1 + -3a + (-4a + 12a2)) = 0

Combine like terms: -3a + -4a = -7a
