Use the commutative property to reorder the terms
500a2
48520−500a2=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
−500a2=0−48520
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
−500a2=−48520
Change the signs on both sides of the equation
500a2=48520
Divide both sides
500500a2=50048520
Divide the numbers
a2=50048520
Cancel out the common factor 20
a2=252426
Take the root of both sides of the equation and remember to use both positive and negative roots
a=±252426
