Solution for a+6=a(a+3) equation:


Simplifying
a + 6 = a(a + 3)

Reorder the terms:
6 + a = a(a + 3)

Reorder the terms:
6 + a = a(3 + a)
6 + a = (3 * a + a * a)
6 + a = (3a + a2)

Solving
6 + a = 3a + a2

Solving for variable 'a'.

Combine like terms: a + -3a = -2a
6 + -2a + -1a2 = 3a + a2 + -3a + -1a2
