(a+6)(a+3)=

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

Simplifying
(a + 6)(a + 3) = 0

Reorder the terms:
(6 + a)(a + 3) = 0

Reorder the terms:
(6 + a)(3 + a) = 0

Multiply (6 + a) * (3 + a)
(6(3 + a) + a(3 + a)) = 0
((3 * 6 + a * 6) + a(3 + a)) = 0
((18 + 6a) + a(3 + a)) = 0
(18 + 6a + (3 * a + a * a)) = 0
(18 + 6a + (3a + a2)) = 0

Combine like terms: 6a + 3a = 9a
(18 + 9a + a2) = 0

Solving
18 + 9a + a2 = 0

a = -6
Subproblem 2
Set the factor '(3 + a)' equal to zero and attempt to solve:

Simplifying
3 + a = 0

Solving
3 + a = 0

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

Add '-3' to each side of the equation.
3 + -3 + a = 0 + -3

Combine like terms: 3 + -3 = 0
0 + a = 0 + -3
a = 0 + -3
