Solution for 4(a-2)=2a(a+7) equation:


Simplifying
4(a + -2) = 2a(a + 7)

Reorder the terms:
4(-2 + a) = 2a(a + 7)
(-2 * 4 + a * 4) = 2a(a + 7)
(-8 + 4a) = 2a(a + 7)

Reorder the terms:
-8 + 4a = 2a(7 + a)
-8 + 4a = (7 * 2a + a * 2a)
-8 + 4a = (14a + 2a2)

Solving
-8 + 4a = 14a + 2a2

Solving for variable 'a'.

Combine like terms: 4a + -14a = -10a
-8 + -10a + -2a2 = 14a + 2a2 + -14a + -2a2

Reorder the terms:
-8 + -10a + -2a2 = 14a + -14a + 2a2 + -2a2

Combine like terms: 14a + -14a = 0
-8 + -10a + -2a2 = 0 + 2a2 + -2a2
-8 + -10a + -2a2 = 2a2 + -2a2

Combine like terms: 2a2 + -2a2 = 0
-8 + -10a + -2a2 = 0

Factor out the Greatest Common Factor (GCF), '-2'.
