(a+6)(a-15)=

Solution for (a+6)(a-15)= equation:

Simplifying
(a + 6)(a + -15) = 0

Reorder the terms:
(6 + a)(a + -15) = 0

Reorder the terms:
(6 + a)(-15 + a) = 0

Multiply (6 + a) * (-15 + a)
(6(-15 + a) + a(-15 + a)) = 0
((-15 * 6 + a * 6) + a(-15 + a)) = 0
((-90 + 6a) + a(-15 + a)) = 0
(-90 + 6a + (-15 * a + a * a)) = 0
(-90 + 6a + (-15a + a2)) = 0

Combine like terms: 6a + -15a = -9a
(-90 + -9a + a2) = 0

Solving
-90 + -9a + a2 = 0

Solving for variable 'a'.
