Solution for a(a+5)=(a-9)(a-7) equation:


Simplifying
a(a + 5) = (a + -9)(a + -7)

Reorder the terms:
a(5 + a) = (a + -9)(a + -7)
(5 * a + a * a) = (a + -9)(a + -7)
(5a + a2) = (a + -9)(a + -7)

Reorder the terms:
5a + a2 = (-9 + a)(a + -7)

Reorder the terms:
5a + a2 = (-9 + a)(-7 + a)

Multiply (-9 + a) * (-7 + a)
5a + a2 = (-9(-7 + a) + a(-7 + a))
5a + a2 = ((-7 * -9 + a * -9) + a(-7 + a))
5a + a2 = ((63 + -9a) + a(-7 + a))
5a + a2 = (63 + -9a + (-7 * a + a * a))
5a + a2 = (63 + -9a + (-7a + a2))

Combine like terms: -9a + -7a = -16a
5a + a2 = (63 + -16a + a2)

Add '-1a2' to each side of the equation.
5a + a2 + -1a2 = 63 + -16a + a2 + -1a2

Combine like terms: a2 + -1a2 = 0
5a + 0 = 63 + -16a + a2 + -1a2
5a = 63 + -16a + a2 + -1a2

Combine like terms: a2 + -1a2 = 0
5a = 63 + -16a + 0
5a = 63 + -16a
