Solution for (a+-10)(a+-14)=16 equation:


Simplifying
(a + -10)(a + -14) = 16

Reorder the terms:
(-10 + a)(a + -14) = 16

Reorder the terms:
(-10 + a)(-14 + a) = 16

Multiply (-10 + a) * (-14 + a)
(-10(-14 + a) + a(-14 + a)) = 16
((-14 * -10 + a * -10) + a(-14 + a)) = 16
((140 + -10a) + a(-14 + a)) = 16
(140 + -10a + (-14 * a + a * a)) = 16
(140 + -10a + (-14a + a2)) = 16

Combine like terms: -10a + -14a = -24a
(140 + -24a + a2) = 16
