(a-5)(a-5)=

Solution for (a-5)(a-5)= equation:

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

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

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

Multiply (-5 + a) * (-5 + a)
(-5(-5 + a) + a(-5 + a)) = 0
((-5 * -5 + a * -5) + a(-5 + a)) = 0
((25 + -5a) + a(-5 + a)) = 0
(25 + -5a + (-5 * a + a * a)) = 0
(25 + -5a + (-5a + a2)) = 0
