Solution for a(a-4)(4a-5)=0 equation:


Simplifying
a(a + -4)(4a + -5) = 0

Reorder the terms:
a(-4 + a)(4a + -5) = 0

Reorder the terms:
a(-4 + a)(-5 + 4a) = 0

Multiply (-4 + a) * (-5 + 4a)
a(-4(-5 + 4a) + a(-5 + 4a)) = 0
a((-5 * -4 + 4a * -4) + a(-5 + 4a)) = 0
a((20 + -16a) + a(-5 + 4a)) = 0
a(20 + -16a + (-5 * a + 4a * a)) = 0
a(20 + -16a + (-5a + 4a2)) = 0

Combine like terms: -16a + -5a = -21a
a(20 + -21a + 4a2) = 0
(20 * a + -21a * a + 4a2 * a) = 0
(20a + -21a2 + 4a3) = 0

Solving
20a + -21a2 + 4a3 = 0
