Solution for 10=(a-2)(2a+1) equation:


Simplifying
10 = (a + -2)(2a + 1)

Reorder the terms:
10 = (-2 + a)(2a + 1)

Reorder the terms:
10 = (-2 + a)(1 + 2a)

Multiply (-2 + a) * (1 + 2a)
10 = (-2(1 + 2a) + a(1 + 2a))
10 = ((1 * -2 + 2a * -2) + a(1 + 2a))
10 = ((-2 + -4a) + a(1 + 2a))
10 = (-2 + -4a + (1 * a + 2a * a))
10 = (-2 + -4a + (1a + 2a2))

Combine like terms: -4a + 1a = -3a
10 = (-2 + -3a + 2a2)

Solving
10 = -2 + -3a + 2a2

Solving for variable 'a'.

Combine like terms: 10 + 2 = 12
12 + 3a + -2a2 = -2 + -3a + 2a2 + 2 + 3a + -2a2

Reorder the terms:
12 + 3a + -2a2 = -2 + 2 + -3a + 3a + 2a2 + -2a2

Combine like terms: -2 + 2 = 0
12 + 3a + -2a2 = 0 + -3a + 3a + 2a2 + -2a2
12 + 3a + -2a2 = -3a + 3a + 2a2 + -2a2

Combine like terms: -3a + 3a = 0
12 + 3a + -2a2 = 0 + 2a2 + -2a2
12 + 3a + -2a2 = 2a2 + -2a2

Combine like terms: 2a2 + -2a2 = 0
12 + 3a + -2a2 = 0

Begin completing the square.  Divide all terms by
-2 the coefficient of the squared term: 

Divide each side by '-2'.
-6 + -1.5a + a2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '6' to each side of the equation.
-6 + -1.5a + 6 + a2 = 0 + 6

Reorder the terms:
-6 + 6 + -1.5a + a2 = 0 + 6

Combine like terms: -6 + 6 = 0
0 + -1.5a + a2 = 0 + 6
-1.5a + a2 = 0 + 6

Combine like terms: 0 + 6 = 6
-1.5a + a2 = 6

The a term is -1.5a.  Take half its coefficient (-0.75).
Square it (0.5625) and add it to both sides.

Add '0.5625' to each side of the equation.
-1.5a + 0.5625 + a2 = 6 + 0.5625

Reorder the terms:
0.5625 + -1.5a + a2 = 6 + 0.5625

Combine like terms: 6 + 0.5625 = 6.5625
0.5625 + -1.5a + a2 = 6.5625

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(a + -0.75)(a + -0.75) = 6.5625

Calculate the square root of the right side: 2.561737691
