Solution for a(a-3)=(a+5)-(a+2) equation:


Simplifying
a(a + -3) = (a + 5) + -1(a + 2)

Reorder the terms:
a(-3 + a) = (a + 5) + -1(a + 2)
(-3 * a + a * a) = (a + 5) + -1(a + 2)
(-3a + a2) = (a + 5) + -1(a + 2)

Reorder the terms:
-3a + a2 = (5 + a) + -1(a + 2)

Remove parenthesis around (5 + a)
-3a + a2 = 5 + a + -1(a + 2)

Reorder the terms:
-3a + a2 = 5 + a + -1(2 + a)
-3a + a2 = 5 + a + (2 * -1 + a * -1)
-3a + a2 = 5 + a + (-2 + -1a)

Reorder the terms:
-3a + a2 = 5 + -2 + a + -1a

Combine like terms: 5 + -2 = 3
-3a + a2 = 3 + a + -1a

Combine like terms: a + -1a = 0
-3a + a2 = 3 + 0
-3a + a2 = 3

Solving
-3a + a2 = 3

Solving for variable 'a'.
