Solution for 0=a(a+2) equation:


Simplifying
0 = a(a + 2)

Reorder the terms:
0 = a(2 + a)
0 = (2 * a + a * a)
0 = (2a + a2)

Solving
0 = 2a + a2

Solving for variable 'a'.
Remove the zero:
-2a + -1a2 = 2a + a2 + -2a + -1a2

Reorder the terms:
-2a + -1a2 = 2a + -2a + a2 + -1a2

Combine like terms: 2a + -2a = 0
-2a + -1a2 = 0 + a2 + -1a2
-2a + -1a2 = a2 + -1a2

Combine like terms: a2 + -1a2 = 0
-2a + -1a2 = 0

Factor out the Greatest Common Factor (GCF), '-1a'.
-1a(2 + a) = 0

Ignore the factor -1.

Subproblem 1

Set the factor 'a' equal to zero and attempt to solve: Simplifying a = 0 Solving a = 0 Move all terms containing a to the left, all other terms to the right. Simplifying a = 0

Subproblem 2

Set the factor '(2 + a)' equal to zero and attempt to solve: Simplifying 2 + a = 0 Solving 2 + a = 0 Move all terms containing a to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-2' to each side of the equation. 2 + -2 + a = 0 + -2 Combine like terms: 2 + -2 = 0 0 + a = 0 + -2 a = 0 + -2 Combine like terms: 0 + -2 = -2 a = -2 Simplifying a = -2

Solution

a = {0, -2}
