Solve (5a-8)(2a-3)=0

Evaluate

(5 a - 8) (2 a - 3) = 0

When the product of factors equals 0,at least one factor is 0

5 a - 8 = 0 2 a - 3 = 0

Solve the equation for a

More Steps

a = \frac{8}{5} 2 a - 3 = 0

Solve the equation for a

More Steps

a = \frac{8}{5} a = \frac{3}{2}

Solution

a_{1} = \frac{3}{2}, a_{2} = \frac{8}{5}

Alternative Form

a_{1} = 1.5, a_{2} = 1.6
