Solution for (a-2)(2a-1)=2 equation:


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

Reorder the terms:
(-2 + a)(2a + -1) = 2

Reorder the terms:
(-2 + a)(-1 + 2a) = 2

Multiply (-2 + a) * (-1 + 2a)
(-2(-1 + 2a) + a(-1 + 2a)) = 2
((-1 * -2 + 2a * -2) + a(-1 + 2a)) = 2
((2 + -4a) + a(-1 + 2a)) = 2
(2 + -4a + (-1 * a + 2a * a)) = 2
(2 + -4a + (-1a + 2a2)) = 2

Combine like terms: -4a + -1a = -5a
(2 + -5a + 2a2) = 2

Add '-2' to each side of the equation.
2 + -5a + -2 + 2a2 = 2 + -2

Reorder the terms:
2 + -2 + -5a + 2a2 = 2 + -2

Combine like terms: 2 + -2 = 0
0 + -5a + 2a2 = 2 + -2
-5a + 2a2 = 2 + -2

Combine like terms: 2 + -2 = 0
-5a + 2a2 = 0

Solving
-5a + 2a2 = 0
