a(b+2)=

Solution for a(b+2)= equation:

Simplifying
a(b + 2) = 0

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

Solving
2a + ab = 0

Solving for variable 'a'.

Move all terms containing a to the left, all other terms to the right.

Factor out the Greatest Common Factor (GCF), 'a'.

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 + b)' equal to zero and attempt to solve:

Simplifying
2 + b = 0

Solving
2 + b = 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 + b = 0 + -2

Combine like terms: 2 + -2 = 0
0 + b = 0 + -2
b = 0 + -2

Combine like terms: 0 + -2 = -2
b = -2

Add '-1b' to each side of the equation.
b + -1b = -2 + -1b

Combine like terms: b + -1b = 0
0 = -2 + -1b

Simplifying
0 = -2 + -1b
