(20a-1)(a-2)=

Solution for (20a-1)(a-2)= equation:

Simplifying
(20a + -1)(a + -2) = 0

Reorder the terms:
(-1 + 20a)(a + -2) = 0

Reorder the terms:
(-1 + 20a)(-2 + a) = 0

Multiply (-1 + 20a) * (-2 + a)
(-1(-2 + a) + 20a * (-2 + a)) = 0
((-2 * -1 + a * -1) + 20a * (-2 + a)) = 0
((2 + -1a) + 20a * (-2 + a)) = 0
(2 + -1a + (-2 * 20a + a * 20a)) = 0
(2 + -1a + (-40a + 20a2)) = 0

Combine like terms: -1a + -40a = -41a
(2 + -41a + 20a2) = 0

Solving
2 + -41a + 20a2 = 0

Solving for variable 'a'.
