(a-6)*(a-7)=

Solution for (a-6)*(a-7)= equation:

Simplifying
(a + -6)(a + -7) = 0

Reorder the terms:
(-6 + a)(a + -7) = 0

Reorder the terms:
(-6 + a)(-7 + a) = 0

Multiply (-6 + a) * (-7 + a)
(-6(-7 + a) + a(-7 + a)) = 0
((-7 * -6 + a * -6) + a(-7 + a)) = 0
((42 + -6a) + a(-7 + a)) = 0
(42 + -6a + (-7 * a + a * a)) = 0
(42 + -6a + (-7a + a2)) = 0

Combine like terms: -6a + -7a = -13a
(42 + -13a + a2) = 0

Solving
42 + -13a + a2 = 0

Solving for variable 'a'.
