Simplifying
(x + -2)(x + -1a) = 0

Reorder the terms:
(-2 + x)(x + -1a) = 0

Reorder the terms:
(-2 + x)(-1a + x) = 0

Multiply (-2 + x) * (-1a + x)
(-2(-1a + x) + x(-1a + x)) = 0
((-1a * -2 + x * -2) + x(-1a + x)) = 0
((2a + -2x) + x(-1a + x)) = 0
(2a + -2x + (-1a * x + x * x)) = 0
(2a + -2x + (-1ax + x2)) = 0

Reorder the terms:
(2a + -1ax + -2x + x2) = 0
(2a + -1ax + -2x + x2) = 0
