(5a-1)(a+3)=

Solution for (5a-1)(a+3)= equation:

Simplifying
(5a + -1)(a + 3) = 0

Reorder the terms:
(-1 + 5a)(a + 3) = 0

Reorder the terms:
(-1 + 5a)(3 + a) = 0

Multiply (-1 + 5a) * (3 + a)
(-1(3 + a) + 5a * (3 + a)) = 0
((3 * -1 + a * -1) + 5a * (3 + a)) = 0
((-3 + -1a) + 5a * (3 + a)) = 0
(-3 + -1a + (3 * 5a + a * 5a)) = 0
(-3 + -1a + (15a + 5a2)) = 0

Combine like terms: -1a + 15a = 14a
(-3 + 14a + 5a2) = 0

Solving
-3 + 14a + 5a2 = 0
