(a+2)(a-3)=-2a

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

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

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

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

Multiply (2 + a) * (-3 + a)
(2(-3 + a) + a(-3 + a)) = -2a
((-3 * 2 + a * 2) + a(-3 + a)) = -2a
((-6 + 2a) + a(-3 + a)) = -2a
(-6 + 2a + (-3 * a + a * a)) = -2a
(-6 + 2a + (-3a + a2)) = -2a

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

Solving
-6 + -1a + a2 = -2a

Solving for variable 'a'.

Reorder the terms:
-6 + -1a + 2a + a2 = -2a + 2a

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

Combine like terms: -2a + 2a = 0
-6 + 1a + a2 = 0
