(a+2)(2a-3)=

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

Simplifying
(a + 2)(2a + -3) = 0

Reorder the terms:
(2 + a)(2a + -3) = 0

Reorder the terms:
(2 + a)(-3 + 2a) = 0

Multiply (2 + a) * (-3 + 2a)
(2(-3 + 2a) + a(-3 + 2a)) = 0
((-3 * 2 + 2a * 2) + a(-3 + 2a)) = 0
((-6 + 4a) + a(-3 + 2a)) = 0
(-6 + 4a + (-3 * a + 2a * a)) = 0
(-6 + 4a + (-3a + 2a2)) = 0

Combine like terms: 4a + -3a = 1a
(-6 + 1a + 2a2) = 0

Solving
-6 + 1a + 2a2 = 0

Solving for variable 'a'.
