Solution for (2-a)(3+2a)=2a-6 equation:


Simplifying
(2 + -1a)(3 + 2a) = 2a + -6

Multiply (2 + -1a) * (3 + 2a)
(2(3 + 2a) + -1a * (3 + 2a)) = 2a + -6
((3 * 2 + 2a * 2) + -1a * (3 + 2a)) = 2a + -6

Begin completing the square.  Divide all terms by
-2 the coefficient of the squared term: 

Divide each side by '-2'.
-6 + 0.5a + a2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '6' to each side of the equation.
-6 + 0.5a + 6 + a2 = 0 + 6

Reorder the terms:
-6 + 6 + 0.5a + a2 = 0 + 6

Combine like terms: -6 + 6 = 0
0 + 0.5a + a2 = 0 + 6
0.5a + a2 = 0 + 6

Combine like terms: 0 + 6 = 6
0.5a + a2 = 6

The a term is 0.5a.  Take half its coefficient (0.25).
Square it (0.0625) and add it to both sides.

Add '0.0625' to each side of the equation.
0.5a + 0.0625 + a2 = 6 + 0.0625

Reorder the terms:
0.0625 + 0.5a + a2 = 6 + 0.0625

Combine like terms: 6 + 0.0625 = 6.0625
0.0625 + 0.5a + a2 = 6.0625
